College Funding

Lincoln Investment and Capital Analysts Form CRS

Investing for college opens a world of opportunities. Your child’s dream career should not be put in jeopardy because of the rising cost of higher education. 529 savings plans offer a convenient, flexible and tax-efficient way to save for school.

The sooner you start putting money into a 529 savings plan — even a small amount — the more you’ll benefit from the tax and other financial advantages. A 529 plan offers:

• Tax-deferred growth

• Federal income-tax-free qualified withdrawals

• Estate planning benefits

• Professional investment management

• Wide choice of investment strategies

• Full control over the money you save

• Flexibility to save for any family member or friend

• Now eligible for K-12 private school tuition*

Contact us today to schedule an appointment with a Milestone Investment Advisor by calling 570-966-7402.

Earnings on non qualified withdrawals are subject to income taxes and a 10% federal tax penalty.

Participation in a 529 College Savings Plan (529 Plan) does not guarantee that contributions and investment return on contributions, if any, will be adequate to cover future tuition and other education expenses or that a beneficiary will be admitted to or permitted to continue to attend an educational institution. Contributors to the program assume all investment risk, including potential loss of principal and liability for penalties such as those levied for non-educational withdrawals.

An investor should consider, before investing, whether the investor’s or designated beneficiary’s home state offers any favorable state tax treatment or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in such state’s qualified tuition program. Consult with your financial, tax or other adviser to learn more about how state-based benefits (including any limitations) would apply to your specific circumstances. You may also wish to contact your home state or any other 529 college savings plan to learn more about the features, benefits and limitations of that state’s 529 college savings plan. Furthermore, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was signed into law on December 22, 2017 allows for up to $10,000 a year per beneficiary in tax free distributions from a 529 Plan if used to tuition incurred for enrollment or attendance at a public, private, or religious elementary or secondary school. Check with your state’s guidelines prior to withdrawing the funds.

*Available in most states; check your state’s rules before you use the funds.
