A professional digital illustration styled as a blog header graphic. The image is clean and bright, utilizing a modern, inviting color scheme of deep blues, teals, and soft golds. Large, stylized typography at the top reads: 'BEYOND THE K-12 HACK'. Below the title, main text reads: 'Advanced Coordination Strategies for 529s and Section 530A Accounts'. The graphic elements represent the transition and coordination of two financial structures over time. On the left side, an illustrated book with a prominent '529' shield sits under a 'K-12' arch, with a young student in a graduation cap starting a journey towards the center. On the right side, an illustrated vault with a prominent '530A' symbol and small house/business icon sits under an 'ADVANCED STRATEGY' arch. Both the 529 and 530A paths merge into a single, glowing golden upward-trending beam of light in the center, symbolizing 'SYNCHRONIZED TAX PLANNING'. Above the intersection is a small, subtle infographic icon of a 'Master Plan' folder. The entire image is balanced and inviting, conveying structured financial planning for the long term.

An infographic designed for a financial advisor blog, illustrating the shift in 401(k) catch-up contributions for high earners under the SECURE 2.0 Act in 2026. The image features a clean vector style in shades of blue and green with gold accents. The left side, labeled 'Before 2026: Pre-Tax Advantage,' uses a simple diagram to show catch-up contributions flowing directly to a deduction on a 1040 tax form, representing immediate tax savings for a professional over age 50. The right side, labeled '2026 MANDATE: The Roth Pivot (W-2 over $150k),' shows a distinct change. After a FICA wage check verifies the $150,000 threshold, the catch-up contributions are routed into a separate 'Roth 401(k) Bucket' rather than the main pre-tax 401(k) account. Arrows emphasize 'Tax-Free Growth' within the Roth account. A side-by-side table compares the 2025 and 2026 contribution limits, clearly identifying the 'Mandatory Roth' requirement for catch-up contributions. The overall infographic title is 'The $150K Catch-Up Rule: How High Earners Must Adjust Their 401(k) Strategy.' A small, professional 'Ryan Peca, Wealth Advisor' credential is visible at the bottom.
