I have 2 kids that I had coverdell accounts for. We never used them for school expenses because we thought they could be used to pay off loans which I now know we can't. Both of my kids are now over 30 and I just found out these funds should have been disbursed before their 30th birthdays. how should we proceed to closing these accounts with the least penalties?

When did they turn 30? Is there a younger family member that can be designated as the beneficiary? Such as do your kids have kids? see irs.gov/publications/p970#en_US_2019_publink1000178449 for a list of family members.– mhoran_psprepOct 14, 2020 at 10:46

1I am surprised the bank or financial company didn't force them to liquidate the funds within 30 days of them turning 30.– mhoran_psprepOct 15, 2020 at 9:57
