As I understand it earnings, as long as used for appropriate stuff for education are not taxed. Here is a quote from the IRS ...

A. Earnings are not subject to federal tax and generally not subject to state tax when used for the qualified education expenses of the designated beneficiary, such as tuition, fees, books, as well as room and board. Contributions to a 529 plan, however, are not deductible.

Here is the IRS Q&A site for 529's

IRS 529 Q&A
Oy vey! I think I need to visit my local Fidelity office to discuss this. We don't have state income tax so at this point it's a matter of finding a plan that is probably low in fees and one that can possibly be managed by a third party.
