For many years, 529 plans have been one of the best ways to save for education expenses such as college tuition or books and school supplies. However, up until recently, people who wanted to spend money from their 529 accounts on anything besides qualified education expenses were forced to pay additional taxes and penalties on the money that they withdrew.
But, starting in 2024, a massive rule change is going into effect for 529 plans. This change will allow people to roll over leftover funds from their 529 plans into a Roth IRA account that they can use to save for retirement in a tax-advantaged way.
In this video, tax expert Karlton Dennis breaks down everything you need to know about this historic change to 529 plans. This new rule change for 529 plans is so significant that it could dramatically impact the way that people save for both education and retirement. If you want to save for either of these things, then this is a great video for you to watch.
