Coverdell Education Savings Accounts

The Coverdell Education Savings Account is a strong option for college savings. This includes elementary and secondary school expenses -- a special bonus.

The Coverdell Education Savings Account is a savings plan for education purposes. Similar to the Roth IRAs, contributions are not tax-deductible. However, investment earnings can grow without accruing income tax liabilities.

Coverdell ESA Benefits

Coverdell ESAs allow you to invest $2,000 per year per child, up to age 18, to save for educational expenses.
The amount you contribute doesn't limit your contributions to retirement plans. However, allowable contributions are phased out for people with higher incomes, beginning at $95,000 for single filers and $190,000 for married filers.
Grandparents and other family members can set up Coverdell ESAs in your child's name.
The funds can be used to cover costs associated with attending elementary or secondary school, be it public, private or religious. Covered costs include uniforms, computers and transportation.
