Account Types

What is the annual contribution limit for a Coverdell Education Savings Account?

Correct Choice: A

Coverdell ESA = $2,000/year limit, income limits apply. 529 = no annual limit, no income limits.

Complete Analysis & Legal Rationale

Coverdell ESAs have an annual contribution limit of $2,000 per beneficiary. This is much lower than 529 plans, which have no federal annual limit. However, Coverdell ESAs offer more flexibility for K-12 expenses.
