• Do more with your money Consider a 529 Plan

  Consider a 529 Plan

  NYC Kids Rise has shared a 15-second video clip Superintendant Hidalgo

  Happy 529 Day flier - English

  Feliz 529 Dia volante en Español

  Happy 529 Day flier - Bengali

  What is a 529 Plan?
  A 529 plan is a savings account offered by state governments and
  colleges and universities to encourage saving for future education costs, including costs to attend:
  „ four-year colleges and universities
  „ two-year associate degree programs
  „ trade schools
  „ vocational schools
  „ graduate schools
  You can even use savings to pay for elementary, middle, or high school.

  
  How Does a 529 Plan Work?
  The money you contribute to a 529 plan is invested, usually in some
  kind of mutual fund that is a mix of stocks and bonds. You’ll have the
  opportunity to choose how your money is invested when you open the
  account. There are tax advantages.

  
  Depending on the stock market and the investment option you choose,
  the money in your 529 plan may increase in value over time. If it does,
  you will not have to pay federal income taxes on those earnings when
  you withdraw the money, as long as you use the money for tuition at
  a college or technical school or for other education-related expenses
  such as dormitory costs, books, and school fees. However, if you use
  the money for any other purpose, any increase in the account’s value
  will be subject to income taxes and you will pay a 10 percent penalty on
  the money you withdraw.

  
  Who Can Benefit from a 529 Plan?
  You can open a 529 plan account for yourself, your own children or
  grandchildren, or even the children of friends and other relatives. When
  the student is ready to attend school, you can withdraw the money and
  apply it to tuition and other expenses such as room and board, books,
  supplies, and fees without paying taxes on the money you withdraw. 

   

  ¿Qué es un Plan 529?
  Un plan 529 es una cuenta de ahorros ofrecida por gobiernos estatales y universidades
  para fomentar el ahorro para futuros costos educativos, incluyendo los costos de asistir a:
  universidades de cuatro años
  programas de grado asociado de dos años
  escuelas de oficios
  escuelas vocacionales
  escuelas de posgrado
  Incluso puedes usar tus ahorros para pagar la escuela primaria, secundaria o preparatoria.

  ¿Cómo funciona un Plan 529?
  El dinero que aportas a un plan 529 se invierte, generalmente, en algún tipo de fondo mutuo que combina acciones y bonos.
  Tendrás la oportunidad de elegir cómo se invierte tu dinero al abrir la cuenta. Existen ventajas fiscales.

  Dependiendo del mercado de valores y la opción de inversión que elijas, el dinero en tu plan 529 puede aumentar de valor con el tiempo.
  Si es así, no tendrá que pagar impuestos federales sobre la renta al retirar el dinero,
  siempre que lo utilice para pagar la matrícula en una universidad o escuela técnica o para otros gastos relacionados con la educación,
  como el costo de la residencia, libros y cuotas escolares. Sin embargo, si utiliza el dinero para cualquier otro propósito,
  cualquier aumento en el valor de la cuenta estará sujeto a impuestos sobre la renta y pagará una multa del 10% sobre el dinero que retire.

  ¿Quién puede beneficiarse de un plan 529?
  Puede abrir una cuenta 529 para usted, sus hijos o nietos, o incluso los hijos de amigos y familiares.
  Cuando el estudiante esté listo para asistir a la universidad, puede retirar el dinero y destinarlo a la matrícula
  y otros gastos como alojamiento y comida, libros, materiales y cuotas sin pagar impuestos sobre el dinero que retire.
