Question

Money from a Coverdell Education Savings Account can be used for:

Answer 1

Answer:

B. K to 12 and post-secondary education expenses.

Explanation:

The Education individual retirement account (Education IRA) was renamed to the Coverdell education savings account (Coverdell ESA) in the year 2002.

In the United States of America, a Coverdell education savings account (Coverdell ESA) is a custodial account or trust fund set up for the sole purpose of paying the education expenses for a qualified beneficiary of the account. It covers both the qualified elementary and secondary education (K-12) expenses and qualified higher education expenses.

This ultimately implies that, money from a Coverdell Education Savings Account can be used for K to 12 (K-12) and post-secondary (higher) education expenses.

Basically, the contributions made into a Coverdell education savings account (Coverdell ESA) must be made in cash and cannot be deducted i.e they are not deductible. Also, the total contributions that can be made into all Coverdell ESA on behalf of a qualified beneficiary in a single calendar year cannot exceed $2,000.
