Participation in a 529 Plan does not guarantee the investment return on contributions, if any, will be adequate to cover future tuition and other higher education expenses. State programs vary and therefore you should carefully review individual program documents before investing or sending money. Federal income tax on the earnings and a 10 percent penalty on distributions for non-qualified expenses may apply. RBC Wealth Management is not a tax advisor. All decisions regarding the tax implications of your individual investments should be made in connection with your independent tax advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-discussing-transfers-from-utma-or-ugma-to-a-529-plan\">When discussing transfers from UTMA or UGMA to a 529 Plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Transfers from an UTMA or UGMA to a 529 Plan may violate specific state laws. A 529 Plan can only accept cash, thus, any securities in a UTMA\/UGMA account would have to be sold. Capital gains could become a taxable reporting event for the minor. You should seek the advice of a qualified professional to determine all of the legal consequences of this type of transfer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbcwm-rbc-block rbc-block rbc-block-grey rbc-footer-footnotes rbc-block-small has-block-grey-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row \"><div class=\"col-lg-12\">\n<div class=\"row wrap blockId-15f0b13c-8892-405c-99e1-3e0e98983ef8\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbcwm-column col-lg-12\">\n<p class=\"is-style-caption has-dark-grey-color has-text-color\"><strong>Investment and insurance products offered through RBC Wealth Management are not insured by the FDIC or any other federal government agency, are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank or any bank affiliate, and are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-caption has-dark-grey-color has-text-color\"><strong>RBC Wealth Management, a division of RBC Capital Markets, LLC, registered investment adviser and Member <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyse.com\/index\">NYSE<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.finra.org\/\">FINRA<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sipc.org\/\">SIPC<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"parent":59,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"editor_notices":[],"rbc_url_alias":"legal\/529-plans","footnotes":""},"rbcwm_content_owner":[],"class_list":["post-4033","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>529 Plans - RBC Wealth Management<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"529 Plans For more information regarding college savings plans, please visit&nbsp;www.collegesavings.org.
