i need to look, but say you fund the 529 for 18 years and your kid decides not to go to college

what happens with all the money? i assume it can be withdrawn at a taxed penalty?


You will be taxed at your tax rate plus 10% penalty.

But say your child goes to college and has scholarships. You can pull out an amount equal to those scholarships without penalty for your own personal use.
