NEST 529 Listening sessions this week

The NEST 529 Education Savings Plans offer a tax-advantaged way to save for a wide range of higher education expenses, including costs at four-year universities, trade school, technical programs, two-year community colleges, and qualified apprenticeship programs. With no minimum deposit required to open an account and contributions that can be managed online, NEST 529 makes it easy to start saving at any time. Account owners in Nebraska may be eligible for an annual state income tax deduction of up to $10,000 for NEST 529 contributions or $5,000 if married filing separately3. Plus, any earnings grow tax free, and qualified withdrawals may be free from federal and state income taxes4, providing even greater savings potential.

For parents and guardians who would like to learn about the benefits of a NEST 529 Education Savings Plan in person, NEST 529 is inviting you to an educational forum free of charge at the following locations to learn more about the tax advantaged plans:

9:30 a.m. Thursday, October 10, 2024, at the Hasting Public Library, 314 N Denver Ave., Hastings
3:30 p.m. Thursday, October 10, 2024, at the Kearney Public Library, 2020 1st Ave., Kearney

The hour-long forum includes a presentation about what a 529 account is, ways to open one, and important considerations for contributing to a loved one’s future. Parents, family members and legal guardians as well as financial advisors, human resource and other professionals are invited.

A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation, and light refreshments and door prizes will be provided. To learn more about the forums or sign up to attend, visit NEST529.com/forum.
