How Will Your Investments Affect Your
Child's Financial Aid Prospects?
By Mark Louderback
It’s only February,
but college financial aid
officers are already
preparing for the
upcoming school year. If
you have young children,
how will your own
savings and investments
affect their chances of
e ve n t u al l y ge t t i n g
financial aid?
In determining aid
packages, most colleges
rely on the Free
Application for Federal
Student Aid, or FAFSA.
When filling out your
FAFSA, you don’t have
to report your IRA and
401(k) as assets, but if
you take withdrawals
from them while your
child is in college, the
income will count against
your child's financial aid
package.
If you invest in a 529
plan, you will need to
report it on FAFSA —
but the withdrawals
themselves won’t be
counted as income, and
they will be free of
federal taxes, provided
you use the money for
higher education. (If you
use the money for other
purposes, you'll be taxed
and potentially penalized
by 10% on the earnings.
Even with careful
planning, your student
may not qualify for
financial aid, so consider
all college-funding
strategies. However,
don’t neglect your own
investments
for
retirement — because
that’s an important goal,
too
