Village: Friends and family can help you save.
It takes a village! With the cost of education rising, parents don’t have to save alone. Friends and relatives can open their own accounts or contribute directly to an existing account at ugift529.com.
Expenses: Use funds for more than just college tuition.
Use account funds for room & board, books, supplies, fees, equipment and other qualified education expenses. Additionally, up to $10,000 can be withdrawn to pay for tuition expenses in connection with enrollment at a K-12 institution per year or used for repayment of any qualified education loan.
“And now for the cherry on top,” concluded Smith. “Your account earnings grow federally tax-deferred, and qualified withdrawals are tax free. Iowa taxpayers saving with the Plan can deduct up to $4,028 per Beneficiary account from their 2024 state income taxes.”
