- 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.
