A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged saving tool designed specifically for educational expenses, allowing parents to save for their child's college costs. There are two main types: savings plans, which provide flexibility for use at various institutions, and prepaid tuition plans, which lock in current tuition rates at participating schools. However, families must weigh the likelihood of college attendance against the plan's benefits and also consider state-specific rules and potential tax implications before committing to a 529 plan.
529 plans are flexible savings accounts designed to fund college expenses, allowing tax-free growth and withdrawals for qualified educational purposes.
Before deciding on a 529 plan, consider your child's college path, your state’s offerings, and how the tax rules apply to your situation.
There are two main types of 529 plans – savings plans and prepaid tuition plans – each offering different benefits and restrictions.
Not every child will attend college, so evaluate whether a 529 plan aligns with your financial goals and your child's future educational needs.
