Happy 529 Day!
One of the greatest gifts you can give a child is opportunity. A 529 plan helps families invest in future education while benefiting from tax-advantaged growth.
But what happens if you diligently save for your child’s education and they decide to pursue a different direction? Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:
- You can re-assign a 529 account to another beneficiary. This could include siblings, grandchildren and even parents.
- Since passage of the SECURE 2.0 Act in 2024 you can convert 529 funds into a Roth IRA for the beneficiary.
If you would like to learn more about opportunities around 529 plans please reach out!
