Nearly 12 Million Sec. 529 Plans
Each year the College Savings Plans Network publishes a report on Sec. 529 plans. The National Association of State Treasurers created the network to monitor these plans.
All states maintain a tax-advantaged Sec. 529 plan. Cash amounts up to five annual exclusions may be contributed to an account in one year. The funds grow tax-free and may be distributed tax-free to students for appropriate educational expenses. The account beneficiary is usually a child or a grandchild of the donor.
In September 2014, the “Mid-year Review of 529 Plan Activity” was published. It is a good picture of the current use of Sec. 529 plans to fund future education needs for children and grandchildren.
Information on Sec. 529 plans is available on www.irs.gov, www.savingforcollege.com or www.collegesavings.org.
