College Funds
A Coverdell ESA is an investment vehicle targeted toward educational expenses rather than toward retirement. As with a Roth IRA, however, Coverdell ESAs allow you to make an annual non-deductible contribution to a specially-designated investment trust account. Withdrawals from the account are typically tax-free.

More Details about Coverdell ESAs
- The total yearly contribution limit per child is $2,000 per year. If a child is the beneficiary of more than one Coverdell ESA, total contributions to all accounts cannot exceed this $2,000 limit without incurring a penalty.
- Contributions are not tax-deductible, but deposits to an ESA grow tax-free until withdrawn.
- Coverdell ESAs aren’t just for college – you can also use your savings to pay for K-12 expenses tax-free.
- A Coverdell ESA must be used by the time the child turns 30; the funds must be given to the beneficiary or rolled over to a Coverdell ESA for another family member.
