Hello,

I've been researching the 529 issue and find it confusing. If my funds were sent directly to the school, then my student/daughter is the "recipient" and the "beneficiary." What I'm not clear on is whether these funds count as support from the Parent or the Student? This matters in our case for determining whether she will file as a Dependent that her parents will claim or on her own. Thanks for any thoughts on this...
