Investing for your child's education Preparing for what promises to be a costly college education for your child is as easy as 5-2- 9. Named for Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code, 529 plans help individuals and families save for college in a tax-advantaged way. The pre-paid plans are available everywhere, and Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois have their own individual investment programs. In a 529, you can invest up to $12,000 per child per year, tax-free.
