Coverdell accounts are often called Education IRAs because they share many of the tax advantages of retirement accounts. But the funds are targeted for a different purpose - education costs.

  • Contribute up to $2,000 per student per year
  • Funds can be used for college costs or private elementary or secondary education
  • In addition to tuition, money can be used for room and board, fees, educational equipment and supplies (such as computers)
  • Any family member - parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. - can contribute to a student's ESA
