You’re paying for braces, sports and dance lessons. With as much as it costs to raise a child today, putting money away for college may be the last thing on a parent’s mind. 
my529, Utah’s official 529 educational savings plan, may be able to help. 

Earnings on investments in a my529 account grow tax-deferred, and withdrawals are free from federal and Utah state income taxes when the funds are used for qualified higher education expenses, such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, computers, internet access, and room and board costs. You can use funds at colleges, universities, and trade and technical schools in the United States and abroad that are qualified to participate in federal student aid programs. 

Utah residents can qualify for a Utah state income tax credit for contributions. See my529.org for more information.  

Family members and friends also can contribute to your my529 account. Activate the my529 Gift Program and invite loved ones to give a lasting gift to your beneficiary.

It’s easy to sign up. Opening an account at my529.org takes less than 10 minutes. my529 does not require an initial contribution, nor does it require minimum or ongoing contributions. Families can contribute as much and as often as their budgets allow. 

Money invested in a my529 account may not cover all of the costs to attend a college, university or technical school, but it can help you get started.
