Whether the funds are for college or vocational studies, she said, "529 plans are better now than they've ever been before and they're more flexible." "There are three pretty significant changes this year," said Vivian Tsai, senior director of education savings at TIAA and chair emeritus for the College Savings Foundation, a non-profit that provides public policy support for 529 plans. Financial experts and plan investors agree that 529 college savings plans are a smart choice for many. Tax deductions or credits for contributionsEven before recent changes, there were already many advantages to a 529 plan.

watch nowAdvantages of a 529 planOverall, there are many advantages to a 529 plan. A few states also offer additional benefits, such as scholarships or matching grants, to their residents if they invest in their home state's 529 plan.

And starting in 2024, savers can roll money from 529 plans over to Roth individual retirement accounts free of income tax or tax penalties. Still, the time horizon for college is much shorter compared with most retirement savings accounts, he added.
