Education Planning
Here at Independent Planner LLC. we offer a wide variety of education planning services for both individuals and businesses. Education IRA's, UGMA accounts and 529 college investment plans are among the more common options. Beginning in 2002, withdrawals from a 529 plan will be completely tax-free for qualified educational costs. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or heading in that direction, investing in a 529 account is something to consider. These accounts offer a range of benefits such as:

> A 100% federal tax-deferred savings and investment vehicle that allows you and others to contribute a significant amount of money to finance a child's college education.

> The flexibility to change beneficiaries to certain other family members if, for example, the original beneficiary decides to forgo college.

> No income limits for contributors.

> Various investment choices.

> Offers additional tax and estate planning options.

When the time comes to consider saving for college, be sure and ask us what type of plan may be best for your situation
*Qualified expenses for tax exempt status: include tuition, fees, room and board, books and other supplies needed to attend an institution of higher education. A 10% federally mandated penalty or additional tax applied on any earnings you withdraw for non-qualified expenses.

 Some states offer favorable tax treatment to their residents only if they invest in the state's own plan. You should consult with your tax advisor about any state or local taxes. Contributions limits apply depending on the state of issuance.

There is no guarantee that any investment portfolio will achieve its investment goals. Values of accounts will fluctuate as the value of the underlying investment fluctuates and when funds are withdrawn, they may be worth more or less than the original investment.
