Frequently Asked Questions

How do 529 distributions appear on bank statements and how are they documented for tax purposes?

529 plan distributions appear as deposits from the 529 custodian (Vanguard, Fidelity, state 529 program) to your bank account. Export bank statements to Excel for the academic year to show all 529 distribution deposits. Match each distribution to a qualified education expense payment — tuition, fees, books, room and board. The IRS Form 1099-Q reports 529 distributions; the bank statement shows when money actually arrived. Keep both the 1099-Q and the bank statement showing the distribution alongside tuition receipts (Form 1098-T from the school) as the complete AOTC or 529 tax documentation package.

Can bank statements document out-of-pocket tuition costs for FAFSA need analysis?

FAFSA measures your family's expected contribution based on income and assets — including bank account balances. Export bank statements to show current account balances on the FAFSA application date. Large 529 plan accounts owned by grandparents (not the custodial parent) did not count as assets on FAFSA for aid years through 2023 but were counted as student income when distributed — the new FAFSA Simplification Act (2024+) changed this so grandparent 529 distributions no longer count as student income. Current bank account balances on the FAFSA date are counted as parent assets — a strategic withdrawal for current college expenses before the FAFSA date reduces countable assets.
