529 Plans

Students and/or parents should contact their 529 plan administrator directly and follow their process to make a withdrawal at least two weeks prior to the due date as it can take up to 14 days for the 529 plan to process the request. To ensure that the funds are directed to the correct student account, all 529 plan payments should include the student’s full name and GWID. Payments from 529 plans should be sent to:

The George Washington University
Enterprise Hall, Suite 290
Attn: Student Accounts Office

Ashburn VA 20147

Payments and correspondence from Florida Tuition Plan, Texas Guarantee Tuition Plan, and Illinois University should be directed to:

Please note that Form 1098-T, Tuition Statements, should not be used to validate Form 1099-Q, Payments from Qualified Education Programs, received from a 529 plan provider. Withdrawals from a 529 plan can be used to pay for expenses, such as room and board, however, per IRS rules payments received for these charges cannot be reported in Box 1 of a 1098-T. Statements of account are typically sufficient to show that 529 withdrawals were used for educational expenses.
