529 and Income Taxes

Section 529 plans provide powerful and unique tax advantages not available with other college savings options. The many different variations of 529 plans available allow investors to choose the best plan for them based on their own individual needs and preferences. Additionally, 529 plans have investment, tax, retirement, and estate-planning advantages that reach beyond the college savings benefits.

Understanding the mechanics and tax provisions of Section 529 in their entirety is fairly complex, but is a necessity for professional advisors working closely with clients considering these investments.

This one-hour Continuing Education course will provide financial advisors with an overview of the provisions of Section 529, and focus specifically on the federal tax benefits and rules for distributions, as well as the impacts of state laws on 529 plans.

CE credit is 1 hour of General Principles of Financial Planning.
