One of the rules governing 529 savings plans, which parents often set up to fund a child's college education, is that the money must go toward covering qualified education expenses. Otherwise, the earnings portion of any withdrawals will be subject to taxes and a 10% penalty.

Pay for your own education If you plan to pursue a postsecondary degree or certificate of your own, you can use leftover 529 plan funds to cover your expenses without incurring a 529 withdrawal penalty.

529 plans do not have specific withdrawal deadlines. A 529 plan account owner is not required to take a distribution when the beneficiary reaches a certain age or within a specified number of years after high school graduation, and funds can remain in the 529 plan account indefinitely.
