A 529 plan is a tax-advantage savings plan, authorized by the IRS, designed to help pay for education. It’s available to any citizen or taxpayer, and just about anyone can help contribute to the plan, including grandparents, other family members and friends.

A 529 savings plan can help you save more of your education-earmarked money over time. Any earnings grow free from federal tax, and many states offer a state income tax deduction or tax credit for contributions.  In the State of Georgia, contributions are deductible up to $8,000 per year per beneficiary for joint filers, and $4,000 per year per beneficiary for all others.  Qualified withdrawals are not subject to Georgia income tax.  Non-qualified withdrawals may be subject income tax.  You should consult a qualified advisor about how withdrawals may affect your circumstances.
