Can You Write Off Coverdell ESA Contributions?

Short answer: No, Coverdell contributions aren't deductible, but earnings are tax-free for qualified education costs.

Income limits apply to who can contribute.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
