It’s a bit of a process (simple… but not easy):
You must cash the bond, then deposit the proceeds into a 529 plan within 60 days and in the same tax year.
You must meet income limits (MAGI phase-outs apply) and have been over age 24 when the bond was issued.
To benefit, you’ll need to file IRS Form 8815 for qualified education expense exclusion.
✅ If that sounds like Greek — or you just want to make sure you get it right — we’re here to help.
📞 Call our office at 774-202-2240 and we’ll walk you through the steps so you can turn your savings bonds into education gold.

What this means for you (and how we can help):
• We should review your prior tax returns and determine whether standard deduction vs itemizing still makes the most sense.
• We should focus on deduction‐planning now—especially for those items that could go away or change.
• You’ll want to consider how future tax rates, law changes, and your income trajectory affect your strategy—because deduction opportunities aren’t static.
• We help you stay ahead of these changes and structure your plan so that you’re not caught off guard when the next change rolls through.
