Q. Can I change the beneficiary of a 529 plan I have set up?
A. Yes. There are no tax consequences if you change the designated beneficiary to another member of the family. Also, any funds distributed from a 529 plan are not taxable if rolled over to another plan for the benefit of the same beneficiary or for the benefit of a member of the beneficiary's family. So, for example, you can roll funds from the 529 for one of your children into a sibling's plan without penalty.
