Additionally, on December 22, 2017, the president signed new tax legislation into law. While we're working on updating our website to reflect the new U.S. tax laws, the website may not address these changes.

The legislation includes several new provisions related specifically to 529 plan accounts, beginning with the 2018 tax year:

• Account owners can use assets to pay for qualified K-12 tuition expenses up to $10,000 per year, per student.
• Account owners can treat qualified K-12 withdrawals as qualified expenses with respect to the federal and Pennsylvania state tax benefits.
• Account owners can roll over 529 plans to ABLE plans, up to the ABLE annual contribution limit.

Please check back as we update our website to reflect these changes. For additional guidance on these new provisions, account owners should consult the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue at www.revenue.pa.gov or by calling 717-787-8201 or consult a qualified tax advisor about your personal situation.
