Summer is a great time to start their college savings journey

Help brighten their future! When you open an Edvest 529 account, saving for your child's education can be a breeze.

Triple Tax Benefits of an Edvest 529 Account

Your contributions can go further with Edvest 529 plan tax benefits.

Wisconsin state tax deduction

A state tax deduction can reduce your taxable income. WI taxpayers may qualify for a 2025 deduction up to $5,130 for single or married joint filers, per beneficiary, for contributions made into an Edvest 529 account.

100% tax-deferred growth

Any earnings in your Edvest 529 account grow tax-deferred, meaning you don’t pay taxes on the earnings until later. This can help your investments for college grow faster over time, as more money stays in your account and can continue to earn returns.

Tax-free withdrawals for qualified expenses

Earnings accrued in an Edvest 529 account can be withdrawn from an account 100% tax-free at the state and federal level when paying for qualified higher education expenses like tuition, certain room and board, books, computers and more.

Why an Edvest 529 account?

Your plan is financial aid friendly

Your 529 account is typically viewed as a parental asset for financial aid purposes and may count less against aid eligibility than the same funds held in your child's name.1

Your child has options

Savings can be applied to any eligible college or university across the country and abroad, technical colleges and even professional schools and graduate schools.

You have full control

You're never locked in and can withdraw your funds for any reason at any time.2

You enjoy more flexibility

Funds in your child's account are transferable to another eligible family member, which includes siblings, stepchildren, parents, even first cousins.

"What attracted me to the 529 College Savings Plan was the simplicity, the flexibility of use and being able to have other donors add to it as well, and then the tax breaks that come along with that in the state of Wisconsin."
