•Be aware of how retirement plan contributions can affect aid. Many of your current as-sets, such as your retire- ment accounts, may be excluded from the EFC calculation. However, any voluntary contributions you make to your 401(k) or traditional IRA during the “base” year (the prior tax year) generally must be reported on the FAFSA and are counted as untaxed income; consequently, these contributions may have a similar effect on aid eligibility as taxable income. Manda-tory contributions, such as those made by teachers to a state retirement system, are generally not reported on the FAFSA.• Avoid withdrawals from your 401(k) or traditional IRA. The money you take out from these accounts in the years you fill out the FAFSA, and the prior tax year, may count as taxable income in the financial aid cal-culations. If you really need the money, you may want to consult with your financial professional for alternatives.• Consider having children put earn ings into a Roth IRA. Money from after-school or summer jobs your children put in a Roth IRA may not be included in EFC – plus, your kids will get a head start on a tax-advantaged retirement account. Keep in mind, though, that Roth IRA with-drawals could be considered as taxable income on the FAFSAif the account owner is younger than 59½, which will be the case for your children, or the account is less than five years old. Not all these suggestions will be appro- priate for everyone, but they’re worth thinking about. You might also want to consult with a college’s financial aid officer be-fore you complete the FAFSA, as aid calculations can be complex. An investment of your time and effort early in the process may pay off when the aid packages are finally delivered.

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING
Right now, the pandemic is causing chaos and uncertainty for colleges and students. But it won’t always be that way. And if you have children who will be heading off to school in the next few years, you’re prob-ably thinking about more typical concerns – such as expenses. How will you pay for the high costs of higher education?Most colleges do offer financial aid packages that can greatly help with these expenses. But it pays to know, well in advance, how financial aid works. And the key platform for determining much of your child’s financial aid is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In fact, if you have children start-ing college next year, now is the time to get going on the FAFSA, which became available Oct. 1 for the 2021-22 award year. Filling out your FAFSA will provide you with what’s known as your Expected Family Contribu-tion (EFC). The EFC calculation takes into account four separate areas: parent income, parent assets (exclud-ing retirement funds, such as 401(k) plans and IRAs, home equity and small family business-es), student income and student assets. The EFC does not calculate the exact amount you must pay for college – rather, it’s an estimate, and the amount you pay can be below or above this number.Nonetheless, the EFC is important in determining your financial aid package, and your actions can influence the results. Here are a few suggestions for future years:• Save money in your name – not your child’s. FAFSA will just consider up to 5.64 percent of a parent’s assets, com-pared to 20 percent of a student’s assets.
