A 529 plan and a custodial account are two different savings vehicles that parents can use to build funds for their child's education. Here are the key differences between them:
529 Plan: A 529 plan is a qualified tuition plan sponsored by states and the District of Columbia. It provides an investment vehicle designed for building funds to pay for college for children. There are two types of 529 plans: prepaid tuition plans and general savings plans. Prepaid tuition plans allow parents to buy units or credits from participating institutions at today's prices, while general savings plans allow parents to contribute money that can be used for qualified college expenses such as tuition, room and board, and mandatory fees.
Custodial Account: A custodial account is a taxable trust where parents or guardians can store assets on behalf of a minor. There are two types of custodial accounts: Uniform Gift to Minors Act (UGMA) accounts and Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) accounts. UGMA accounts are limited to financial products such as cash, annuities, and securities, while UTMA accounts can hold almost any type of property, including real estate.
Here are some key differences between the two:
Tax Advantages: 529 plans offer tax benefits on withdrawals when used for qualified expenses. On the other hand, using funds from a custodial account for education does not come with tax benefits.
Ownership: In a custodial account, the minor is considered the owner of the account once they reach the "age of majority" (usually around 18 to 21). In contrast, the parent is considered the owner of a 529 plan account.
Student Aid Eligibility: Custodial accounts are treated as an asset of the minor when establishing student loan eligibility and can significantly affect the amount of aid your child qualifies for. Money held in a 529 plan is considered an asset of the parent and does not have a substantial effect on student aid eligibility.
It's important to note that both options have their own advantages and considerations. Consulting with a financial advisor can provide valuable advice on how to ensure that your family has the money it needs to cover educational expenses.
I need to read this thread. My 9 year old wants to get into investing and it would be awesome if I can get them something to use…
And one that lets them trade stocks with as little as $1?
How about opening a paper trading account and letting them learn there?
Yep based on rule of 8 their money should double every 8 years. Start with $20k when they are 4 and at 68 they will have about $5 million!
