Tips for Leveraging 529 Education Savings Plans
A 529 Education Savings Plan can be a great way to save for your children's or grandchildren’s education. Below are some of the key benefits of a 529 plan:
- Some states allow a tax deduction from (or credit against) state taxes for all or part of your contributions and will not pay any federal tax on earnings as long as the proceeds are used for a qualified education expense.
- The account owner maintains control of the account and determines the amount and timing of distributions.
- There are no income limits, and 529 plans have no time or age limits on contributions or withdrawals.

- You maintain control of the assets, unlike other types of gifts, as funds can only be used according to the will and direction of the account holder.
