Ready to start saving for your child’s college expenses but not sure how to start?
It’s never too early to begin planning for your child’s future. One of their first and largest expenses will likely be pursuing their goals through higher education. Whether they plan to attend a university, community college, or trade school, you don’t want to let the price tag keep your child from pursuing the career of their dreams.
Consider a 529 Savings Plan
What is a 529 Savings Plan?
Put simply, this specialized savings plan is reserved for educational purposes. Deposits to these accounts grow tax-free and can be used for a variety of educational needs such as tuition, housing, and even learning tools like laptops.
What makes a 529 Savings Plan unique?
Aside from allowing tax-free contributions, the 529 Savings Plan comes with additional benefits for Colorado residents. Taxpayers in Colorado may be eligible for state tax deductions for contributions made to this type of account. As with any type of specialized savings account, be sure to consult your trusted Financial Advisor before starting your 529 Savings Plan to learn more about how this account will fit into your unique financial situation.
