WHAT IS AN EDUCATION IRA?
A nondeductible account that features tax-free withdrawals for a very specific purpose-a child's higher education expenses.

AM I ELIGIBLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO AN EDUCATION IRA?
There are two eligibility considerations.

The child for whom you are contributing may not have had any contributions made on their behalf to a state prepaid tuition program in that year.

Your modified adjusted gross income cannot exceed certain limits.

HOW MUCH CAN I CONTRIBUTE?
The total aggregate contribution into one or more Education IRA's on behalf of a child is $500.00 per year.

HOW DOES THE LAW DEFINE A CHILD?
A person who is under the age of 18.

WHAT IF I WANT TO SAVE FOR MORE THAN ONE CHILD?
The law appears to allow contributors to deposit their maximum allowable contribution for as many children desired.

DO I PAY TAXES ON THE EARNINGS?
No, and neither does the child.

HOW DO I OPEN AN EDUCATION IRA?
Simply come in and see any or our IRA representatives, or call at 1-906-341-4600.
