Qualified expenses for accredited apprenticeships — like fees, textbooks, supplies, and equipment like required trade tools — can be paid with 529 withdrawals. </p><p>Also, student loan repayment is also a 529 qualified withdrawal. Any student loan that qualifies for the federal student loan income tax deduction can now be paid with a 529 distribution. There is a $10,000 lifetime limit per 529 beneficiary. However, an additional $10,000 can be used to repay qualified student loans for each of the beneficiary’s siblings. </p><p>A 529 account can also be used to pay K-12 tuition up to $10,000 per student, per year, for enrollment at public, private, or religious elementary or secondary schools. Additionally, any remaining funds in a 529 after the beneficiary has finished their higher education can be <a target="_blank" href="/blog/blog-detail/posts/2024/01/09/529-to-roth-ira-rollover-now-available-with-ohio-529">rolled over to a Roth IRA</a> for the same beneficiary, after meeting certain requirements.</p><p>Third, Ohio residents who contribute to Ohio 529 can deduct their contributions from their taxable state income. This deduction amount is $4,000 per year, per beneficiary, with unlimited carry forward, which means that the $4,000 is not a contribution cap. If an Ohio taxpayer contributes more than $4,000 in one year, they can continue to subtract $4,000 per year, per beneficiary, from their State of Ohio taxable income until all the 529 contributions are deducted.</p><h2>Honors for Ohio 529 </h2><p>If you read financial websites, you will discover the high regard for Ohio 529.

The article stated that, “For a low $25 minimum, the Ohio-based 529 direct-sold savings plan offers a diverse selection of age-based, enrollment-based Vanguard and DFA mutual fund portfolios with tax-free growth. Plus, an individual fund portfolio option. You can also invest in CDs through a Fifth Third Bank savings account ($500 minimum). Single and joint filers can get a tax deduction of up to $4,000 annually.”</p><p><a href="https://time.com/" data-sf-ec-immutable="" data-sf-marked="" target="_blank">Time Magazine</a> has also named Ohio 529 on their <a href="https://time.com/personal-finance/article/best-529-college-savings-plans/" data-sf-ec-immutable="" data-sf-marked="" target="_blank">Best 529 College Savings Plans for 2024</a> list. Their analysts noted, “Ohio CollegeAdvantage is open to anyone age 18 or older who wants to make tax-advantaged contributions to college savings. There is a state income tax deduction of up to $4,000 per child per year, and there are no restrictions on how many accounts you can open for different beneficiaries. The lifetime contribution limit is well above what other states offer, allowing you to contribute a significant amount toward your student’s education. CollegeAdvantage leans heavily on Vanguard funds, which have a reputation for being exceptionally inexpensive. You can also choose from individual fund options, including bond-focused and equity-based portfolios.” </p><p><a href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/student-loans/best-529-plans/" data-sf-ec-immutable="" data-sf-marked="" target="_blank">Forbes Advisor </a>continues to rank Ohio 529 as one of the six best college savings programs in the nation. According to their explanation: “Ohio’s 529 Plan comes with features in line with the other plans on our list, including low fees, a range of investment options and a tax deduction for Ohio taxpayers. … The plan also comes with a minimum contribution, both to open the account and for each contribution thereafter. But it is small ($25) and likely manageable for many plan participants.”</p><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/select/best-529-plans/" data-sf-ec-immutable="" data-sf-marked="" target="_blank">CNBC </a>also continues to select Ohio 529 as one of the ten best programs nationwide.

There’s a good mix of investment options (including FDIC-insured accounts), low fees and plans from top companies like Vanguard, Dimensional Fund Advisors and Fifth Third Bank. There’s just a minimum contribution amount of $25 and Ohio residents can get a tax deduction.”</p><p><a href="https://moneyinc.com/best-college-funds-for-children/" data-sf-ec-immutable="" data-sf-marked="" target="_blank">Money Inc.</a> ranks Ohio 529, CollegeAdvantage, second in its list of the top ten 529 programs nationwide.

Current federal guidelines are as follows: <br /> <br /> If the student is a dependent, a 529 plan account is considered as the parent's asset (if the Account Owner is the parent or the dependent student). As a result, it will generally be counted at a rate of only 5.64% of its value for the EFC. <br /> <br /> If the student is not a dependent and is the Account Owner, the 529 plan account is treated as the student's asset and is generally factored into the EFC at the higher rate of 20%. <br /> <br /> In other cases, the account does not count as an asset for federal financial aid purposes. However, a student may have to report distributions received from the account as income for these purposes. <br /> <br /> Note: Financial aid programs offered by educational institutions and other non-federal sources may have their own guidelines for the treatment of 529 plan accounts. For complete information about financial aid eligibility, you should consult with a financial aid professional and/or the state or educational institution offering a particular financial aid program, since rules and regulations often change. </p> </div> </div> </section> <section class="otta-accordion"> <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="btn btn-link" data-toggle="collapse-next" aria-expanded="false" role="button"> <h2>Footnotes: General</h2> </a> <div class="collapse"> <div class="pt-2 mb-4"> <p> <sup>1</sup> Earnings on non-qualified withdrawals are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax, as well as state and local income taxes.
