529 plan, does money get paid straight to the university or do you withdraw?
Posted by The Mick on 5/7/15 at 12:41 pm00
Does the account holder do a normal withdrawal and then receives a form from the university showing the payment, or do you put in request and the 529 plan company pays the school directly?
thanks
thanks

This is from the LA START Program website.
It looks like you can get a withdrawal form when the time comes to direct payments and withdrawals.

Usually you can just withdraw but it complicates the non-taxable process a it as you have to prove the expenses are going towards education etc.
It's easy just sending it to the school for tuition.

Can definitely be withdrawn because you can pay for more than just tuition with funds from a 529.

I paid the bills as they became due and then was able to withdraw the funds online and they were disbursed directly to me. I kept a folder with copies of tuition bills, room and board expenses, books,etc. in case I was ever audited. It was really much easier than I expected.
I could be wrong but I think I read that if the student lives off-campus, you can only use the 529 to pay for the portion of rent equivalent to what the school deemed the cost for room and board.

@RicFlair, yes you can buy a condo and lease it. There is a chart that says how much off campus housing at LSU is allowed to be paid from the 529. Obviously, even 4 years of rent wouldn't cover the entire cost but if yo rent out other rooms and want to be a landlord you can.
