1. You may not make additional contributions to a TD Ameritrade 529 College Savings Plan account once the aggregate amount of contributions to the Nebraska Educational Savings Plan Trust for a beneficiary equals $400,000 or the value of all accounts in the Trust for the same beneficiary reaches $400,000.
2. Withdrawals used to pay for qualified higher education-related expenses are free from federal and Nebraska state income tax. These expenses include tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for enrollment at an Eligible Educational Institution. Room and board is considered a qualified education-related expense if the student is enrolled on at least a half time basis. The earnings portion (if any) of a Non-Qualified Withdrawal will be treated as ordinary income to the recipient and may also be subject to an additional 10% federal tax.
3. A donor may elect to treat a contribution to a beneficiary’s account as made ratably over a five-year period. As a result a donor may make a contribution to a beneficiary’s account of up to $75,000 (or up to twice that much if the donor and his or her spouse elect to “split” gifts) without any negative gift tax consequences, so long as the donor does not make any additional contributions to the account (or any other gifts to the account beneficiary) during that tax year or any of the succeeding four calendar years. A Federal Gift Tax Return (Form 709) is required to be filed. Please consult with your tax or legal professional. If the donor dies before the end of the five-year period, the portion of the contribution allocable to years after the donor’s death will be includible in the donor’s estate for Federal estate tax purposes.
The TD Ameritrade 529 College Savings Plan (the "Plan") is sponsored by the State of Nebraska and administered by the Nebraska State Treasurer. The Plan offers a series of investment portfolios within the Nebraska Educational Savings Plan Trust (the "Trust"), which offers other investment portfolios not affiliated with the Plan. Nebraska Educational Savings Plan Trust serves as Issuer. The Plan is intended to operate as a qualified tuition program to be used only to save for qualified higher education expenses, pursuant to Section 529 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
An investor should consider the Plan’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. The Program Disclosure Statement at collegesavings.tdameritrade.com, which contains more information, should be read carefully before investing.
Investors should consider before investing whether their or their beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other benefits that are only available for investments in such state’s qualified tuition program and should consult their tax advisor, attorney and/or other advisor regarding their specific legal, investment or tax situation.
