NEW LEGISLATION ALLOWS USE OF
529 PLAN ACCOUNTS FOR K-12 TUITION

New legislation passed into law in 2017 allows for the use of 529 Plan Accounts (tax-advantaged investment accounts originally designed to help families pay for college) for K-12 tuition at private schools beginning with the 2018 tax year.

  • Account owners can use assets to pay for K-12 tuition at private schools (including Eden Christian Academy), up to $10,000 per year per student. Parents paying Pennsylvania state income taxes may be eligible for a tax deduction for contributions to such a 529 plan, subject to certain limitations.
  • Account owners can treat K-12 withdrawals for tuition as qualified expenses, which means that earnings on the withdrawals will not be subject to federal tax or a 10% penalty. The treatment of such withdrawals in regard to Pennsylvania state income tax has not yet been officially determined.

We encourage you to consult a qualified tax advisor about your personal situation.

If you have questions, please contact Chuck Smullin at csmullin@edenca.org
