2.) Your Ohio's 529 plan be used NATIONWIDE - not just for Ohio schools.
3.) Your Ohio's 529 doesn't just cover tuition - you can use it on any qualified expense, like room & board, books, computers, internet services, mandatory fees and MUCH more.
4.) 529 plans aren't just for 4-year colleges. Ohio's 529 can be used at ANY type of school - whether that's a 4-year college, trade and tech schools, certificate programs, apprenticeships and more.
5.) There are SO many tax benefits - ALL earnings, including interest, grow tax-free, 529 plan withdrawals are tax-free when used for qualified higher education expenses, and you can deduct your contributions from their Ohio taxable income, up to $4K per year, per beneficiary.
