What Do You Do If You Save Too Much in a 529 Account?
Historically, you have had three options; leave it in the 529 college savings account in case the need for further higher education arises, change the beneficiary to another family member so they can use it for higher education, or withdraw the funds in a nonqualified withdrawal and pay taxes. Now, you have a fourth option. The Secure 2.0 Act changed the law so that you can now roll a portion of your 529 savings accounts over as Roth IRA contributions for the beneficiary.
