In her employee benefits meeting, Yin has been taking notes as her human resources manager presents the 529 savings plan offered by her employer.

Select the text in Yin’s summary of 529 plans that is not accurate.

States offer 529 plans to help save for college expenses. They invest money in mutual funds, and I won’t have to pay federal taxes on the earnings from the investment. A prepaid 529 plan will allow me to pay tuition in advance at current tuition rates. This is huge! Especially, since tuition rates continue to increase every year. 529 plans have restrictions, but there’s no penalty if withdrawals are made for non-education-related expenses. I can shop around for 529 plans, but my company does sponsor a plan if, or when, I decide to choose one.

Answer:

The text that is not accurate in Yin's summary of 529 plans is: "there’s no penalty if withdrawals are made for non-education-related expenses."

In reality, if withdrawals from a 529 plan are not used for qualified education expenses, the earnings portion of the withdrawal is subject to federal income tax and a 10% penalty.
