    For those like myself, let me fill you in on what dave didn’t answer...
    In the event your child doesn’t go to college, and you don’t have another child, but you want the money you saved, here’s your option..
    Penalty Withdrawal: you get a 10% penalty on the growth you earned. If you out in 100k, and you grew an additional 30k, you only owe 10% or 3k penalty to the government.. you’re welcome

      So after the penalty you’ll be able to give that money to your child for whatever they want to use it for?

    Without looking it up, I believe I paid around $12,000 for the 4 year degree.program.

    We chose not to go with a 529 or ugma account for college. We went the brokerage account funds from year 1-18. We were able to grow that fund to 180K, but we maintained control(I am a control enthusiast). Anyway, we are putting her through college with no loans because we had that 18 year plan. The biggest reason that we have that fund for her college is because we actually funded the account....(and the 12% average growth for 18 years did not hurt).

The earnings on that portion of the distribution will still be subject to income tax. However, if you use the withdrawal for qualified educational expenses, the money will be both tax and penalty free".

    Does anyone know what you are eligible to do with the money if your children are grown and the 529 never got used? No grandchildren either. I feel like everyone is so quick to say that people are trying to get these questions answered just because they don’t want to save. Here I am needing an answer because I’m actually in that situation.

    • @MissC333
      @MissC333 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Check with your financial advisor. It is likely you will be penalized yet your or the child (whoever name is listed on the account) should be able to get the money. If you chose outside the brokerage act and the child didn’t go to college I believe you still have a chance to redeem just at a higher cost including fees due to not fulfilling the purpose of opening the account. Hope that helps.

      If you find absolutely no one that can make use of the money (you can basically roll over the fund to anyone in the family), you can take it out for non educational purposes. You then pay a 10% fee plus the regular income tax on the accumulated profits.

      Details matter. You pay zero tax (as no no taxes or penalty at all) on the all the money you put into the 529 account. So if you put $10,000 in the 529 account (probably over many years), and over many years there was $3,000 of growth, then you owe both tax and a 10% penalty on the growth. In this example you withdraw everything ($13,000) and will owe $300 penalty plus taxes. Note that you would pay the same tax on the growth in your brokerage or traditional IRA, so I'm not feeling the outrage.

    One thing to remember with a 529 is that you own it. You're only setting the beneficiary. If you do a UTMA or UGMA you do not own the account. You are merely a custodian for what is now your children's money.

    I chose to do a brokerage account for my children. The long term tax advantage, IF USED FOR QUALIFIED EXPENSES, is about 8% more. However, if you are truly disciplined in your expenses, if you need to borrow money for a car, you can borrow your own money. My payment would have been $400 a month. I pay $505 for the duration of what the loan would have been. I will pay myself interest before I pay the bank. A word of caution, If you are not ready to have money and not pay it back at a cost to your monthly budget.... don't do it.

    And 10$ a week into an UTMA account along with all her birthday proceeds and other cash from family members for her to later use for a down payment for a home or possibly purchase a car when she turns 18.
    I plan to give her access to the UTMA account at 13 years old to start trading stocks on her own behalf to teach her how money works.
    The idea is that when she turns 18 she feels comfortable and independent I hope at 15 she starts her own job and putting money into these accounts on her own behalf because she will see what a simple 45$ a week will grow into over an 18 year period.
    Arming our next generation with the knowledge and understanding of money should be part of your goals as being a parent. My question is what is the best age to start transferring ownership of these accounts to let them start making trades on there own behalf.
