🎓 Coverdell Education Savings Account (CESA)

A powerful way to save for a child’s future—tax‑free.

A Coverdell Education Savings Account is designed to help families save for a child’s educational needs, from elementary school through college.

It’s simple, flexible, and full of benefits.


Who Can Open or Contribute?

Anyone (including the child) can contribute if their Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is:

  • Under $110,000 (single)
  • Under $220,000 (married filing jointly)

How Much Can Be Contributed?

Up to $2,000 per year per child (beneficiary).


Why Open a CESA?

Because education is an investment — and tax‑free growth helps every dollar go further.

  • Earnings grow tax‑free
  • Withdrawals are tax‑free when used for qualifying educational expenses
  • Can be used for:
    • Elementary school
    • Secondary school
    • College & vocational programs
  • Helps kids learn the value of saving early

The beneficiary must be under age 18, unless they qualify as a special‑needs beneficiary.
