EdVest 529 Plan Details

Type:  Direct and Advisor. This 529 plan can be purchased directly or through a financial advisor.

Fund Family:  Various

Minimums:  To get started you can deposit $250 or $15 with an automatic monthly or a payroll deduction plan. Minimum subsequent contributions are $15 with the automatic monthly plan.

Maximum Contributions:  As of July 25, 2008, you can contribute up to $330,000 to your Wisconsin 529 plan. Of course, your total amount in the plan can be higher as your investments group. 529 plans typically increase the contribution limit over time, so you may be able to contribute more.

Tax Benefits:  Good news for Wisconsin residents – by investing in your state’s 529 college savings plan, you can deduct up to $3,000 of your adjusted gross income. You also get the same benefit for federal income taxes. Out-of-state participants still get the federal tax benefits.

Other Benefits: The SAGE Scholars Tuition Rewards Program allows EdVest account owners to receive discounts off undergraduate school tuition at participating private colleges and universities throughout the country.

Residency: EdVest is open to all United States residents, not just those in Wisconsin.
