529-TO-ROTH: STILL NO UPDATES ON THE 15-YEAR CLOCK โณ
Nearly 3ยฝ years and still waiting! Where's the guidance?
๐ Background: In December 2022, the SECURE 2.0 Act introduced a game-changing provision allowing excess funds from a 529 college savings plan to roll into a Roth IRA. ๐ฐโจ
But hold onโthere are some key restrictions:
โ
Max lifetime rollover is $35,000.
โ
Subject to annual Roth IRA contribution limits (e.g., $7,500 in 2026).
โ
The beneficiary must have equal compensation for the rollover amount that year.
โ
The Roth IRA must be under the beneficiaryโs name!
