What college costs can a Florida 529 Savings Plan be used to pay for?

Your Florida 529 Savings Plan can be used to pay for any Qualified Higher Education Expense as defined in Section 529 of the federal tax code. They include:

1. Tuition;
2. Fees;
3. Room and board expenses during an academic period in which the student is enrolled at least half-time in a degree, certificate or other program that leads to a recognized educational credential awarded by an Eligible Educational Institution;
4. Textbooks, supplies and equipment required for enrollment or attendance;
5. Computers, peripheral equipment, software and internet service primarily used by the student; and
6. Special needs services incurred in connection with enrollment or attendance.

You can withdraw and use the funds for other purposes, but doing so may have tax consequences.
