This calculator is for hypothetical use only and depends on the information you provide. The calculations rely on a number of simplifying assumptions, and the results may vary from your actual situation. Because tax laws change and the states adjust their 529 plans frequently, there is no guarantee that the information used in this calculator is accurate or up-to-date. For more information about your state's 529 plan, and to fully consider your personal tax situation, consult your tax advisor.

In addition to 529 plans, there are other education savings vehicles available including programs designed to prepay tuition and certain other educational expenses. Your financial advisor can assist you in reviewing the various alternatives.
This information does not constitute tax or legal advice. Neither Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC, nor its affiliates, provide tax or legal advice. The information cannot be used for the purposes of avoiding penalties and taxes. Consult with your financial, tax or legal advisor regarding how aspects of 529 plans relate to your own specific circumstances. 529 plans available through Columbia Management are distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., member FINRA.
While federal tax treatment of 529 plan contributions and withdrawals is the same for all 529 plans, certain state tax benefits may be subject to limitation based on the state of residence of the account owner or beneficiary. You may wish to consult a tax advisor for further information on individual state tax treatment of 529 plan investments.
Federal legislation now makes qualified distributions from Section 529 Plans permanently federal tax free. The ruling is part of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 approved by Congress and signed into law by the President on August 17, 2006. Prior to the passage of the new law, tax-free status of these distributions was set to expire after December 31, 2010. Contact your financial advisor or tax advisor, or visit columbiafunds.com to learn more.
An investment in a 529 plan is not guaranteed or insured in any way by Columbia Management, the program manager, the sponsoring state or any of its instrumentalities, the federal government, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other entity.

Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses associated with 529 plan investments before investing. Contact your financial advisor for an official statement, which contains this and other important information. Read it carefully before investing. You should consider, before investing, whether the investor's or designated beneficiary's home state offers any state tax or other benefits that are only available for investments in such state's qualified tuition program.
