FAQs
Q. Is it too late to open an account when my child is in high school?
A. No, you can open a 529 college savings account if your child is in high school, since there are no restrictions on the age of the beneficiary.
Q. Can other people contribute to my account?
A. Yes, family and friends can contribute to your existing account or open their own account if they want the tax benefits and control. However, all account balances together for a beneficiary cannot exceed $520,000. After that, accounts can grow only through investment earnings.
