Money Moves To Prep For Your Child’s Future
For those who don’t know, 529 plans are tax beneficial investment accounts sponsored by the state or state agents. The money invested in these accounts can be used to fund your kids college tuition or for educational expenses.
While 529 plans are traditionally known and used for college expenses such as tuition, room and board fees, or books and supplies, 529 plans can also be used for private school, apprenticeship programs, associate degree programs, vocational and trade school tuition and fees.
Depending on your state, you may even receive a state tax deduction.
Note that for 529 plans you can change the beneficiary to another child or even a blood family member.
Formal education may not be in your child’s future, but some form of learning likely will be. It’s usually a good idea to utilize as many tax-advantaged investing accounts as you can. Let’s be tax smart and strategic.
