What is a 529 plan?
A 529 plan is a college savings plan that helps your employees start saving for future education expenses today.
Pay for education
529 plan savings can be used to pay for tuition and expenses at any qualified college, trade school, or K-12 school.
Save for anyone
Employees can set money aside for anyone they want — including themselves. It’s easy to change beneficiaries at any time.
Grow savings post-tax
Employees automatically invest post-tax income with every paycheck. When they withdraw money, they won’t pay taxes on it.
