I motored the Z to a MAZOC meet yesterday. Apparently everyone was either working or had other things going on. Not unusual for a holiday weekend. I QD'd the Z and went to Mission BBQ.

That is an excellent approach. We started late on the 529. Starting now so you get the full benefit of interest and so on is what we should have done. I like the idea of sweat equity. My wife did not really. So we pay for it all. Luckily the kid decided to go to a local state university that is not real expensive ... yet ... but is getting a great rep for STEM degrees. It takes a bight, we cinched our belts.

How does the tax work on a 529? From what I was reading there isn't a tax penalty when withdrawn for a qualified educational institution. But if we are putting in money that has already been taxed, surely we wouldn't be again, right? That's what I need to figure out.

So I bet you would not be surprised if I told you my wife Louise handles all that huh?

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.

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.

Oddly enough, Wikipedia has a fairly good explanation of how it works.

I would love to do that. If I do it puts me up a class in SCCA Solo racing. If I thought it was expensive now, the next class up allows many, many ... many things and is far more competitive. Maybe when Pete is out of school in a couple of years. For now I will stick with the stock category.

Evening everyone!! Long time no talk. I'm alive. Just extremely busy. GF helped wash the Z this AM and I showed her how to polish/wax. Good shish-ka-bobs for dinner. Hope everyone is doing good.
