Contributions are not federally tax deductible (some states offer state-level deductions).
No income limitations for contributions.
The account owner, not the beneficiary, controls the plan.
Assets can be transferred tax-free to another family member’s 529 plan.
D is correct because tax-free rollovers are allowed for family members of the current beneficiary.
A is incorrect as contributions are not universally tax deductible.
B is incorrect as there are no income limitations for contributing.
C is incorrect because the account owner, not the beneficiary, controls the assets.
