Coverdell Education Savings Account

You can save up to $2,000 per year per child until your child reaches 18 with a Health Advantage Federal Credit Union Coverdell ESA. Contributions are made with after-tax dollars but the earnings and withdrawals are tax-free when used for qualified educational expenses. ESA funds may be used for a broad range of qualified expenses for college and public or private K-12 education; including tuition, tutoring, room and board, and even computer equipment. A unique ESA feature is the ability to transfer funds from one child’s account to another in the same family.
