Virginia529

A qualified tuition program (QTP), also referred to as a section 529 plan, is a program established and maintained by a state, or an agency or instrumentality of a state, that allows a contributor either to prepay a beneficiary’s qualified higher education expenses at an eligible educational institution or to contribute to an account for paying those expenses.

The benefits of establishing a QTP are:

• Earnings accumulate tax free while in the account.
• The beneficiary doesn’t generally have to include the earnings from a QTP as income.
• Distributions aren’t taxable when used to pay qualified higher education expenses. However, if the amount of a distribution is greater than the beneficiary’s qualified higher education expenses, a portion of the earnings is taxable.
