Paying for College? Why a 529 Plan is a Smart Play

529 plans are tax-advantaged savings plans designed for education expenses, offering tax-free growth and tax-free withdrawals for qualified expenses like tuition, books, and room & board. Contributions are made post-tax but may qualify for state tax deductions or credits, depending on the state. Funds can now be used for K-12 education, apprenticeships, and even rolled into a Roth IRA (up to $35,000 over a lifetime) under recent federal changes.

Why should you consider a 529 plan?

Reach your college savings goals with a flexible, tax-advantaged 529 plan.

Savings for education

A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings account designed to be used for the beneficiary's education expenses.

Flexibility

Use the money in your 529 for a wide range of college expenses at accredited schools nationwide in addition to tuition expenses for K-12, certain apprenticeship costs, and student loan repayments.1

Control

Unlike a custodial account, with a 529 plan the account owner maintains ownership of the account until the money is withdrawn.
