Are there mandatory distribution requirements for an education savings account?
Although contributions must stop when the child reaches age 18, the account can remain open until the child turns 30. If the funds have not been distributed by that time, the account balance must be withdrawn within 30 days or transferred to another child within the same family within 60 days. The mandatory distribution requirement does not apply to students with special needs.
