The 529 Accounts screen allows you to set up tax-advantaged savings plans to cover qualified educational expenses

Key Concepts: 

  • Instead of entering annual contributions, you should enter future annual qualified withdrawals and the contributions to fund these withdrawals is calculated for you and shown in the 529 report. 
  • If you do not enter qualified withdrawals, the 529 account balance will be withdrawn in the first year. 

Tips:

  • Contributions that are calculated to fund the 529 will be completed before the first year in the (typical) four-year withdrawal sequence, so that no contributions are added during the withdrawal phase.
  • Multiple 529 accounts can be created.
