Coverdell Education Savings Account

Save for your child's education

A Coverdell Education Savings Account helps you save for your child's education by offering federal tax-free earnings and withdrawals for qualified expenses such as tuition, books, computers and room and board. There is no minimum required annual contribution, and you may contribute as much as $2,000 per child per year if you meet the income requirements.

With a Coverdell Education Savings Account you get:

Choices - Unlike 529 College Savings Plans, a Coverdell Education Savings Account can also be used for expenses associated with attending a public or private elementary or secondary school.

Flexibility - Fortunately, you don't have to choose between plans. You can open a 529 College Savings Plan and a Coverdell Education Savings Account for each of your children.

No maintenance fees - TD AMERITRADE doesn't charge maintenance fees so more of your money will be working toward your goal.

Coverdell contribution limits and income requirements

Are you eligible to contribute the full $2,000 per year? You are, if you meet the following income guidelines:

  • Single filers: modified Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) must be less than $95,000.
  • Married couples: modified AGI must be less than $190,000.

TD AMERITRADE does not provide tax advice. We suggest that you seek the advice of a tax-planning professional with regard to your personal circumstances.
