What is the difference between a 529 and an ESA?

Unlike the Coverdell ESA, 529 accounts can be used to invest for any future student, regardless of age. That means you can start one for your child, a grandchild, or even yourself. If you decide to change the beneficiary to another family member, you can do so at any time without a penalty.

Are ESA contributions tax deductible?

Contributions. You may be able to contribute to a Coverdell ESA to finance the beneficiarys qualified education expenses. Contributions must be made in cash, and theyre not deductible.

Do I need to report form 5498 on my tax return?

No. You arent required to do anything with Form 5498 because its for informational purposes only.
