What Is a Coverdell ESA
What is an Coverdell ESA? A Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) is an account that helps individuals save for the cost of elementary, high school or higher education. You can open multiple Coverdell ESA accounts on behalf of anyone under the age of 18, as long as the total contributions do not exceed $2,000 in total a year per child. Certain age-related limitations will not apply to any designated beneficiary with special needs (as determined under regulations prescribed by the Secretary).
