Reminder: Back to School

In 2018 some major changes to 529 College Saving Plans were rolled out. Now up to $10,000 a year can be used at a K5-12 private or religious school. Money contributed to a 529 account is tax deductible in most states and grows tax free. Talk to your FVWA advisor about how a 529 plan might help you, your child, or grandchild reach their education goals.
