Summary


Current Law


    Education individual retirement accounts (education IRAs) are investment accounts
for individuals that families can use to save for higher education expenses. The accounts
were authorized by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (P.L. 105-34) along with other
measures to help parents and students pay college costs. Contributions to education IRAs
can be made until beneficiaries are age 18; the annual limit is $500, though this amount is
reduced and then eliminated for contributors with modified adjusted gross incomes
