The Grover Norquist Show


Jan 21, 2015

Under Obama’s latest tax plan, earnings in “Section 529” (named for its location in the Internal Revenue Code) college savings plans will face full income taxation upon withdrawal. This proposal is indisputably an income tax hike on middle-class families with children. 

These accounts are commonly used by middle class families. There are about 12 million 529 accounts open today, and they have an average account balance of approximately $21,000. Most 529 plans permit monthly contributions as low as $25 per month.
