Financial Planning for Higher Education Costs 2 Credits
Select your learning mode
The rising education costs in the U.S. have put immense pressure on students and families alike. Many experts believe that education in the United States should last at least 14 years. Others believe individuals need a minimum of graduate education and more focus on engineering and mathematics. Â
If we look at the average cost of tuition, it has more than doubled in the past decade (ranging from $15,000 to more than $60,000 per year). This statistic is even more startling if the tuition increase is compared to the inflation rate during the same period. Unfortunately, the prediction for future costs is not very different, but this view may be exaggerated. Universities are concerned. Fortunately, Congress has introduced several tax incentives to ease the cost of education, from elementary school to graduate-level degrees. But how do you take full advantage of these programs? That’s where this course comes in.Â
In this CE Course, we will examine the many subsidy programs available to individuals, including, but not limited to, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, Lifetime Learning Credit, Coverdell Education Savings Account, Qualified Tuition Programs, and Employer Educational Assistance. We will also consider the advantages and disadvantages of these incentives.Â
Key topics covered:Â
Whether you’re looking to cut your education costs or help your clients save, Join this course for actionable strategies to reduce financial strain and take advantage of key tax incentives.Â
