As with other investments, there are generally fees and expenses associated with participation in a 529 savings plan and a Coverdell savings account. There is also the risk that the investments may lose money or not performwell enough to cover college costs as anticipated. Nonqualified withdrawals of earnings may be taxed as ordinary income and subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty. The tax implications of a 529 savings plan should be discussed with your legal and/or tax advisors because they can vary significantly from state to state, and some states may not adopt the 529 savings plan provision for K–12 tuition.

These state benefits may include financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors.
