It's never too early to begin saving for your child's education.

The Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA) was established to help a parent or legal guardian save for a child/beneficiary's education expenses.

This is a tax-advantage savings account designed to help save for primary and secondary schools (grades k-12) as well as higher education. Contributions grow tax free and can be withdrawn without restrictions at any time if used for qualified education expenses.

Examples of qualified education expenses include:

The contribution limit is $2,000 a year per child. Contributions cannot be accepted after the child/beneficiary reaches age 18, and the balance must be distributed within 30 days of the beneficiary's 30th birthday. Age restrictions may be waived for special needs beneficiaries.

If you have any questions, or you would like to establish a Coverdell ESA, please contact our IRA Specialists at 850.862.0111 or email us via secure email.

Coverdell ESA funds are insured up to $250,000 per depositor by the NCUA.
