Can I use funds from my 529 to purchase a musical instrument? My son goes to a conservatory and is getting his degree in Music Business but is required to have proficiency in a musical instrument.
@Dinaidan97 I am not a tax expert so you should confirm this, but we used 529 funds to purchase a new instrument for my D. She is music performance/pre-med and her viola professor provided documentation stating that a musical instrument was required for her major. We kept this info on info on file with our 529 withdraw documentation.
It should be fine as long as you have it in writing that the money was used for a necessary school purpose, and obviously keep it in case the feds decide to audit you
