    Another 529 PLAN Question

    Dependent student graduated in 2023 with over 60K in excess 529 Plan Funds.
    She got married in 2024 and her parents used 30K for the wedding.
    Earnings of 16K reported on Parents return with the 10% penalty. Dad social security number on 1099Q.
    Parents also Funded a Roth IRA for their daughter for 2024 - 7K and plan to continue doing it for the next 5 years until the funds are all used up.
    The dependent social security number is on the 1099Q for the withdrawal for the IRA.
    Is there a penalty for this withdrawal?
    Thanks
    Brian

    You don't say explicitly - the $7K funding of the Roth. Was it a trustee-to-trustee move into the Roth? Or the parents took a $7K withdrawal and then funded the Roth? Makes a difference.

        The recently enacted ability to transfer $35,000 of funds from a Sec. 529 plan to a Roth IRA can not only rescue funds “trapped” as education funding once they are no longer needed but can also provide a generous head start on beneficiaries’ assets for retirement.
