Education IRA

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Education IRA
A type of individual retirement account enabling the contribution of up to $500 per year tax free for each child up to the age of 18 by the parents in the family.

Coverdell Education Savings Account
An account into which one may deposit funds on a tax-deferred basis, on the assumption that they will be used to pay for the education of the account holder. The funds are invested in a portfolio, much like an IRA or another retirement account. If the funds are in fact used for education, withdrawals from a Coverdell account are tax-exempt up to the total cost of education. Importantly, any tax liability on a Coverdell account is assessed at the account holder's bracket, rather than the contributor's. This protects the account holder from an excessive tax liability in the event a wealthy parent made most or all of the contributions. It was formerly called an education IRA.

Both the Education IRA (Coverdell ESA) and the 529 plans offer good ways to save for college.
In addition to Education IRAs and federal tax credits there are many other ways to use the taxation system to pay for the high and increasing costs of a college education.
The changes included increasing the contribution limit under the Education IRA from $500 a year to $2,000 for each child under age 18 into a special Education Individual Retirement Account.
