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.

FROM THE COUNSELING OFFICE
IMPORTANT REMINDERS to students who took the October PSAT 10/11 or the Spring 2017 PSAT 8/9
- Share your College Board log-in with your parents so they can view the full report and verify that you linked your results to the FREE Individualized Kahn Academy resources available!
- Be sure to update your information subscription for alerts to a personal email account if you previously listed your Eden email account since Eden emails expire upon graduation/withdrawal and you will want long-term access to College Board. If you no longer want to receive mailings contact the College Board and update your account.
- BE CAREFUL about sharing your personal information--never give it out to a phone solicitor! See Mrs. Cischke for further explanation if needed.
NOTE to 11th grade students and parents/guardians:
Junior Jumpstart Workshop is Thursday, March 8, 6:30-8:00 pm
This important night includes an informative presentation from the local PHEAA representative as well as details about what to expect as students move on to their senior year and into their college and career journey.
I hope to see many of you there! Please
