Description

Any amount you pay directly to the college for tuition expenses isn’t counted toward the gift tax exclusion.

Dear Liz: What is the best way for us to contribute to our grandchild’s college expenses? I believe federal financial aid formulas no longer count grandparents’ cash or 529 contributions. Would direct cash to the student (who is responsible) or a 529 be the most beneficial to the student or us?
