Education (Coverdell)
An Education, or Coverdell, is a savings plan created with an incentive to pay for higher education. Parents and guardians may make non-deductible contributions to an Education Savings Account for a child under 18. When college time rolls around, the funds may be withdrawn, tax-free.*
- Distributions are tax-free, but must be used at an eligible institution, such as:
- Any accredited public, private, or religious school that provides elementary or secondary education
- Accredited college, university, vocational or post-secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a Department of Education approved student aid program
- Distributions are tax-free as long as they are used for qualified education expenses, including:
- Tuition and fees
- Required textbooks
- School supplies and necessary equipment
- Room and board
- If the distribution exceeds qualified education expenses, a portion will be taxable to the beneficiary and will usually be subject to an additional 10% tax.**
*Consult a tax advisor.
** Exceptions to the 10% penalty tax, death, disability, distribution made for attendance at a U.S. military academy, distribution taken into account in determining an American Opportunity or Lifetime Learning tax credit or Excess contributions removed before June 1.
