Education Savings Account
An investment tool created for the purpose of paying for the future cost of a child's education. The plan allows total after-tax contributions of $2,000.00 per year for each child until they reach the age of 18. These contributions and their subsequent earnings are tax-free when withdrawn to pay for qualified education expenses. A Share Savings or 18 month Share Certificate account specifically for the benefit of a person's education - usually a minor. Maximum contribution is $2,000.00 annually.
Eligible Members:
- Children, grandchildren and stepchildren
- Brothers, sisters, stepbrothers and stepsisters
- Nephews and nieces
- Parents, stepparents and grandparents
- Uncles and aunts
- Spouses of all the family members listed above
- Cousins
It's important to remember that even with this extended range of family members, contributions can be made only for those under the age of 18, unless the beneficiary is a special needs beneficiary.
