<div dir="ltr"><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">I was presenting to a lovely group of seniors this afternoon and two questions came up that from the audience that I said I would ask fellow colleagues. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">First, is there a special rule/exemption/recruitment benefit/etc where member of the armed forces are allowed to have multiple ROTH IRA as well as having a deposit limit that maxes for each account? Allegedly, this person's nephew was told that he can have two ROTH IRA and have a combined contribution limit of $14,000. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Second - for a 529 account, is there any publication/ruling/white paper that talks about changing beneficiary if the money is not used for educational purposes The audience member stated that he was advised that you must have the SAME beneficiary for 15 years, as well as the 529 account being 15 years old. I told him that I had never had that issue before but that it doesn't make sense - if a named beneficiary dies that the next beneficiary would have to wait 15 years if the 529 is already eligible for distribution. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Thank you for any insights! I love talking to the public as they help me see things I have never yet seen. </div><br clear="all"></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Brent
