Q about non-custodial-owned 529 distributions

[brantly]

@CSSdad

however FAFSA will count it [noncustodial parent’s 529 distribution] as student income (20% influence on EFC) when a distribution is taken

@BelknapPoint

You are correct about the FAFSA treatment of a 529 account owned by a non-custodial parent.

@BelknapPoint
A 529 distribution from a noncustodial parent could be treated as student income in the federal methodology?
