Here is what you need to know from 529 and ABLE stories, research and data released this week:

• 529 Insiders, “February 2021 Webinar: 2020 Impact on the 529 Industry.” Editor’s Take: Replay of a 529 educational webinar sponsored by Nasdaq Fund Network available to view on-demand.
• 529 Insiders, “State by State Overview of Potential 529 Plan State Tax Benefits on Contributions.” Editor’s Take: The page was updated last week with new links, and will be updated going forward as updates become available. Review, bookmark and share.
• IRS, “2020 Publication 970 – Tax Benefits for Education.” Editor’s Take: Important and informative read on the ins and outs of 529 plans. I find a number of questions I receive source back to this document directly, and so I suggest that you review and bookmark for future reference as well.
