From packing school lunches to after school sports, balancing doctors’ visits and birthday parties, getting them from bathtime to bedtime and everything in between, being a mom is a full-time job.

Although we may not be able to help you prepare for all of the day-to-day surprises, we can help you prepare for their educational future.

College SAVE, Bank of North Dakota’s 529 plan, helps make it easy to save early and reduce future educational costs. Here’s how it works:

  • Tax-deferred earnings mean more of your savings go toward their future, not the IRS.
  • Withdrawals for qualified educational expenses like tuition, room and board, books, computers, and more are federal and state tax-free.*
  • A state tax deduction of up to $5,000 ($10,000 if filing jointly) is available for North Dakota taxpayers.

The earlier you start, the more you can potentially save. Open a College SAVE account today to help them secure a brighter future and take one big thing off your plate.

Please Note: Before you invest, consider whether your or the beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in that state’s qualified tuition program. You should also consult your financial, tax, or other advisor to learn more about how state-based benefits (or any limitations) would apply to your specific circumstances. You also may wish to contact directly your home state’s 529 college savings plan(s), or any other 529 plan, to learn more about those plans’ features, benefits, and limitations. Keep in mind that state-based benefits should be one of many appropriately weighted factors to be considered when making an investment decision.
