Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
An ESA is an investment tool designed to pay for a child's education. The plan allows total contributions of $2,000 per year for each child until the age of 18, or older if the child has special needs.

The contributions are not tax-deductible, but the interest earned and subsequent withdrawals are income tax free and IRS penalty-free when used for qualified educational expenses, including tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
  • Who may contribute to Coverdell Education Savings Accounts?
    Almost anyone may contribute including parents, grandparents, other relatives, even friends.
  • How much may be contributed to Coverdell Education Savings Accounts?
    There are two key limitations:
    • Each child can receive a total of $2,000 per year from all contributors combined. Contributions may be made to a single account or to multiple accounts benefiting the same child, but the total cannot exceed $2,000 per child.
    • The amount that may be contributed is reduced if the Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is over $95,000 for an individual tax return filer, or over $190,000 for joint filers. No contribution is allowed for single filers with MAGI over $110,000 and joint filers with MAGI over $220,000.
