Coverdell Education Savings Accounts
Education Savings with Tax Benefits
A Coverdell Education Savings Account (CESA) is a tax-advantaged way to help you pay for the future cost of a child's education expenses. Parents, grandparents, or any interested party may contribute to a CESA to cover certain elementary school, secondary school, and college expenses.
Withdrawals are tax and penalty-free as long as they are used only for qualified education expenses, up to permitted limits. These expenses may include tuition, fees, tutoring, books, and supplies — even the purchase of computer technology or equipment or Internet access used by the benefiting student and family when the student is in school.
CESAs may affect other student savings programs, such as federal financial aid. Please consult a financial or tax professional.
