529 Plans /UGLVFA/UTMA/ABLE Accounts

A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings plan designed to encourage saving for future education costs. 529 plans, known as “qualified tuition plans,” are sponsored by states, state agencies, or educational institutions and are authorized by Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. UGMA and UTMA accounts are also considered college savings accounts. The UGMA (Uniform Gift to Minors Act) and UTMA (Uniform Transfer to Minors Act) are nothing more than custodial accounts, which are used to hold and protect assets for minors until they reach the age of majority in their state. These accounts typically allow stock, bond, and mutual fund investments, but not higher-risk investments like stock options or buying on margin. Because the assets are considered the property of the minor, a certain amount of the investment income will go untaxed while an equal amount is taxed at the child’s tax rate, instead of the parents’ rate An Attainable account is an easy and accessible way to invest and save for qualified disability expenses
