The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded the rules for how 529 education savings accounts can be used to include costs associated with CPA licensing such as exam fees and continuing professional education courses.
These expanded rules apply to funds withdrawn after July 4, 2025.
If you’re a CPA exam candidate, they can be used tax free for testing fees, tutoring, online courses and application fees associated with the CPA exam.
If you’re an active CPA, you can use 529 funds tax free for continuing professional education course fees.
