College Resources: College Funding Checklist & 529 Plan Distribution Rules Flowchart

July 23, 2019
Resource Additions, Announcements

We are excited to release both a checklist and a flowchart this month.  This month, we have a theme! Both resources are related to paying for college. 

For Essential and Deluxe members, here are the two resources being released today:

What Issues Should I Consider To Fund My Child’s College Education?: This checklist covers 21 planning issues to identify and questions to ask a client who is thinking about how to fund college for a child.

Is The Distribution From My 529 Plan Taxable?: This flowchart covers the issues related to 529 plan distributions.  There are several questions to ask a client to ensure there won’t be any unexpected tax surprises for the client.

What do you think of these two new resources?  Send me an email – I’d love to hear your thoughts.

— Ryan, an advisor in New York
