529 Plans


529 Plans are state-sponsored investment vehicles for college education. They come in two forms: pre-paid tuition programs and college savings plans. 529 Plans are governed by Internal Revenue Code 529 and provide tax-deferred growth potential and federally tax-free withdrawals for qualifying college expenses such as tuition and fees, room and board, books, supplies, and equipment. Plans vary by state and may offer benefits to residents.


A 529 plan allows for contributions up to $250,000, depending on the plan. However, contributions are gifts; therefore, the $12,000 annual gift limit should be considered.

Investors should consider, before investing, whether the investor`s or designated beneficiary`s home states offers any state tax or other benefits that are only available for investment in such state`s qualified tuition program.
