<p>I have read that a 529 college savings fund in the parents' name should be incluced as the parents' assets on the FAFSA form, similar to other assets such as mutual funds. Is that accurate?</p>
<p>Yes, as long as it is in your name. You put it under parent’s investments</p>
<p>Student 529 accounts in the student name or the parents name are reported on FAFSA as parent assets.</p>
<p>Any other assets in the student’s name (bank accounts, UGMAs etc) are reported as student assets. </p>
<p>Other Assets in the parent’s name are reported as parent assets.</p>
