The Education Plan is a 529 education savings plan administered by the Education Trust Board of New Mexico. The Education Plan helps families prepare for and manage future education expenses and helps reduce student loan debt. It’s a tax-advantaged way to save for a variety of qualified education expenses, including tuition, room and board, books, fees and computer equipment.
The money in a 529 plan can be used at accredited four-year universities, community colleges, professional schools and trade schools across the United States, including traditional and online institutions. Funds can also be used for K-12 tuition – up to $10,000 per year, apprenticeship expenses, and up to $10,000 in student loan repayment. 529 plan contributions grow tax-free, and withdrawals are also tax-free if used for qualified higher education expenses. For New Mexico residents, any contributions to a 529 account with The Education Plan are deductible from New Mexico state taxable income each year.
The Education Plan also works closely with employers to add a 529 plan to employee benefits packages. It’s an easy, no cost way to support the financial wellbeing of employees. Unlike other benefit programs, The Education Plan requires very little from HR while offering employees the opportunity to save towards education goals for themselves and their loved ones.
Anyone can open a 529 account for anyone if they are at least 18 years of age and have a Social Security number or Tax ID. There is no minimum initial contribution requirement, and contributions can be made at any time.
