New lifelong learning accounts and tax benefits.

This act renames and expands Coverdell Education Savings Accounts into Coverdell Lifelong Learning Accounts. This means funds can be used for a wider range of training and skill development, not just traditional education. Additionally, employers can receive tax credits for contributions to these accounts for their employees, and individuals can deduct their own contributions from their taxes.
Key points
Coverdell Education Savings Accounts are renamed to Coverdell Lifelong Learning Accounts.
Eligible expenses are expanded to include vocational training, skill development courses, related transportation, certification tests, computer equipment, and internet access.
The age limit for contributions is increased to 70, and contributions up to $10,000 are allowed after age 30, with an annual contribution limit of $4,000 for those over 30.
Employers can receive a 25% tax credit for contributions made to their employees' accounts.
Individuals over 18 can deduct their contributions to these accounts from their taxes.
The penalty for improper use of funds from the account increases from 10% to 20% of the distribution.
