Update on 529 to Roth transfers, Last resort use … Very new rules, but possibilities …

J.K. Financial, Inc. 529 to Roth Transfer Update

With multiple new Planning paths being formed, we are cautious to process, but glad to review…

Here is a relatively new technique, one we have not completed yet, but are watching carefully….

We would really like the IRS to chime in – on someone else first …

Early adopter, not trendsetter, but close!

New ways to invest an old possibly unused 529 –

There are rules: Dangit

The 529 needs to have been open 15 years

Currently $7500/year up to a max of $35k (or one time $35k) – we hope this will be inflated/increased over time

Contributions to the 529 in the last five years will not be available for Roth transfer

These rules are changing…so we will keep our eyes peeled for more uses as the changes continue!

A colorful, friendly cartoon infographic depicting a winding path called "529 Plan Path" splitting into different financial routes.

In the center, a financial advisor points a client toward a path leading to a glowing treasure chest labeled "Roth," with a sign indicating "529 to Roth Conversion." Another path leads toward a building labeled "IRS" with a large magnifying glass over it and a speech bubble reading, "Let's watch them chime in first!"

Various informational signs line the paths, including rules such as "529 -> ROTH: 15-Year Rule, Max $35k Total," a sign showing crossed-out cash reading "Contributions in last 5 years? Nope!", and alternative options like "Prep School" and "Relative Transfer" featuring a small family illustration. The header at the top reads: "EXCITING NEW PATHS FOR YOUR 529 PLAN!"

Remember you can transfer that 529 to other relatives … they cannot be too distant, but far enough you may not be spending every Thanksgiving with them….

A 529 can be used for not only higher education, but lower as well… think prep schools and the like

If you have exhausted all other options, the transfer to a Roth might be the trick… Remember it is only, $35k as of now.

Have a Great “529 to Roth Update” Day!
