4. I already have some money invested in stocks can I move the stock into a 529 account?
      All contributions made to a 529 account must be made in cash. In order to use your current stocks, the stocks must first be sold, and the cash proceeds placed in a 529 account.  There may be tax issues to consider in liquidating any investment.  The sale of the stock may trigger a reportable capital gain or ordinary income to the owner of the stock.
