Student Empowerment Act
The Student Empowerment Act (HR 939) expands the use of 529 college savings plans to cover more K-12 education costs. It allows families to use these tax-advantaged savings for tuition, curriculum materials, books, online learning, approved tutoring (by licensed instructors), standardized test fees, dual enrollment, and educational therapies for students with disabilities. Homeschooling expenses are included if they meet state requirements. This change applies to distributions made after the bill's enactment, enabling tax-free savings for a broader range of elementary and secondary education expenses.
