Wanted to take a distribution from a Coverdell ESA I had opened for my daughter to fund a certificate program on Coursera. This one is really offered by a well-known accrediated university. However, it is not a direct post-graduation or extension class taught in a more conventional way. Went to IRS website but could not quite figure it out.
I may be able to justify this one as a real educational use for the distribution. However, there are so many new ways to learn these days and not sure if certain others would qualify, e.g. Linked-in Learning subscription or some courses sponsored by companies, like Google nanodegrees.
