How a 529 Plan Works

  • State Tax Benefits: Plan participants can expect tax breaks (Indiana’s income tax credit is 20% of contributions up to $1,000 credit per year) so your investments may grow more quickly than in a savings account. Until you make withdrawals, you won’t receive a Form 1099 to report taxable or nontaxable earnings. For specific tax advice, please contact a tax professional.
  • Anyone Can Open or Contribute: Any U.S. citizen or resident alien, 18 or older, can open an account – regardless of income.  Parents, grandparents, other family, and friends can open an account for anyone they choose. You can even set one up for yourself!
  • Student Can Attend Any College Nationwide: Assets can be used toward the costs of nearly any public or private, two-year or four-year U.S.-accredited college, university, or technical school nationwide – as long as the school is eligible to participate in U.S. Department of Education student financial aid programs.
  • Low Maintenance: Start a plan for as little as $25. Make contributions of $25 or more – or set up automatic deposits – and know the plan assets are professionally managed by the state treasurer’s office or an outside investment company.
  • Flexible: Once every 12 months, you can roll the funds over into a new 529 Savings Plan option, tax-free, for the beneficiary or a member of the beneficiary’s family.
