They are authorized tax-advantaged section 529A accounts to help disabled people pay for qualified disability-related expenses. Here are changes that will affect people who have an ABLE account: Annual Contribution limit increase
Saver’s Credit
Rollovers and transfers from section 529 plans
States can offer ABLE accounts to help people who become disabled before age 26 and their families save and pay for disability-related expenses. These expenses include housing, education, transportation, health, prevention and wellness, employment training and support, assistive technology and personal support services. Though contributions aren’t deductible for Federal tax purposes, distributions, including earnings, are tax-free to the beneficiary, as long as they are used to pay qualified disability expenses.
