Educational IRA (Coverdell Education Savings Account)
The Coverdell Education Savings Account was created to help parents save for qualified education expenses for a child. Withdrawals are tax and penalty free only for qualified educational expenses. Funds may be transferred from one child’s account to another child within the family.
Contributions are not tax deductible
Annual contribution limit is $2,000
Earnings are tax free if used for education expenses of the child
Child is “designated beneficiary”
Account must be established before child is 18
Account is in the name and SS# of child

Roth IRA
Roth Individual Retirement Accounts feature tax-free withdrawals for certain distribution reasons after a five-year holding period. Since Roth IRA contributions are non-deductible and taxed in the year they are earned, members who expect to be in a higher tax bracket when they retire may benefit more from a Roth IRA than from a traditional IRA. Unlike the Traditional IRA, there is no requirement to begin taking distributions at age 70 ½.

Avoid early distribution penalties on certain withdrawals
Avoid taking required minimum distributions
