Real-life case study: see how this financial planner tracks his 529 receipts to maximize tax savings
Every dollar you take out of a 529 needs a receipt.
Your 529 plan reports what you take out to the IRS on Form 1099-Q. If the IRS asks, your receipts prove the money paid for school. Without them, you pay income tax plus a 10% penalty on the growth.
“At the end of the year, I use the Shoeboxed reporting (which is great) to see how much I should pull from the 529 to reimburse myself. (and I retain the reports in case the IRS wants to see backup)”
