That’s actually pretty awesome and cool for low income parents.


I have mixed feelings. I think certainly there's some merit to it but...we're talking the lowest class gets 16% matching funds if less than $35K a year AGI.

I get 2% because my AGI is > $175K.

One reason to consider a 529 over a UTMA is the recent change in the law that allows a portion (believe it's up to $30k) to be rolled into a roth IRA for the child

I am assuming you can fund both the 529 and UTMA right?

Someone making $35k a year and still putting their kids first is awesome. 16% to 2% is a huge gap, though.

It's 14% to 2%. Here's how it is broken down: LINK

quote:

Reported AGI Rate - Earnings Enhancement

$0 to $29,999 - 14%

$30,000 to $44,999 - 12%

$45,000 to $59,999 - 9%

$60,000 to $74,999 - 6%

$75,000 to $99,999 - 4%

$100,000 and above - 2%


To the person that asked, you can absolutely have a UTMA as well if you'd like.
