Can I use one 529 plan for two children?

or can that money only go to the child named on the acct?



There can only be one beneficiary AT A TIME. But you can change the benficiary at will, as long as the new beneficiary is a qualified family member. I don't know how often you can change the beneficiary. If there's no limit, maybe you could essentially "multiplex" a single 529 plan to cover two children.
