The contribution limit is determined using the
poverty guideline applicable in the state of the
designated beneficiary’s residence, rather than
which the transferor ABLE account is closed upon
completion of the transfer, or of part or all of the balance to
an ABLE account of another eligible individual who is a
member of the family of the former designated beneficiary,

to the designated beneficiary.

CAUTION
the guideline applicable in the state in which the
designated beneficiary’s ABLE account is established, or
elsewhere.
An employed designated beneficiary is not eligible for
the increased contribution limit for the tax year if any
contribution is made on behalf of the employee to a
defined contribution plan (within the meaning of section
414(i)), a section 403(b) plan, or a section 457(b) plan.
The designated beneficiary is responsible for maintaining
adequate records to document the eligibility for increased
Separate accounting. A qualified ABLE program must
provide separate accounting for each designated
beneficiary.
Limited investment direction. A qualified ABLE
program provides that a designated beneficiary may,
directly or indirectly, direct the investment of any
contributions to the program (or any earnings on it) no
more than two times in any calendar year.
Pledging of interest as security. A program is not
treated as a qualified ABLE program if it allows any
interest in the program, or any portion of it, to be used as
security for a loan.
Excess aggregate contributions. A qualified ABLE
program must provide adequate safeguards to prevent
aggregate contributions on behalf of a designated
beneficiary in excess of the limit established by the state
under the state's qualified tuition program (QTP).
Aggregate contributions include contributions to any prior
ABLE account maintained by any qualified ABLE program
for the same designated beneficiary or any prior
designated beneficiary.
Specific Instructions for Form
1099-QA
Who Must File
Any state or its agency or instrumentality that establishes
and maintains a qualified ABLE program must file a Form
1099-QA, Distributions From ABLE Accounts, with the IRS
on or before March 1, of the following year, for each
ABLE account from which any distribution was made or
which was terminated during the calendar year. The filing
may be done by either an officer or employee of the state,
or its agency, or instrumentality having control of the
qualified ABLE program, or the officer’s or employee’s
designee.
Do not file Form 1099-QA for a change in the name of
the designated beneficiary on an ABLE account if the new
designated beneficiary is an eligible individual and a
member of the family of the former designated beneficiary.
For these purposes, a “member of the family” means a
sibling, whether by blood or by adoption, and includes a
brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half-brother, or
half-sister. If the new designated beneficiary is not an
eligible individual for the tax year or is not a member of the
family of the former beneficiary, the Form 1099-QA filed
with respect to the former designated beneficiary should
include in box 1 the fair market value (FMV) of the assets
in the ABLE account on the date on which the change is
made to the new designated beneficiary.
Statements to Recipients
If you are required to file Form 1099-QA, you must also
furnish a statement to the designated beneficiary of the
ABLE account reporting distributions, and to each
contributor who received a returned contribution (plus
earnings) attributable to the calendar year. Furnish a copy
of Form 1099-QA or an acceptable substitute statement to
each recipient, but only with regard to the amounts paid to
that recipient. See part M in the current General
Return of excess contributions and excess aggregate
contributions. A qualified ABLE program must return an
excess contribution or excess aggregate contribution
(including all net income attributable to that excess
contribution or excess aggregate contribution) to the
person who made the contribution on or before the due
date (including extensions) for the federal income tax
return of the designated beneficiary for the tax year in
which the excess contribution or excess aggregate
contribution was made.
Rollovers and program-to-program transfers. For
purposes of these instructions, a “rollover” means a
contribution to an ABLE account of the designated
beneficiary (or of an eligible individual who is a member of
the family of the designated beneficiary) of all or a portion
of an amount withdrawn from the designated beneficiary’s
ABLE account, provided the contribution is made within
60 days of the date of the withdrawal and, in the case of a
rollover to the designated beneficiary’s ABLE account, no
rollover has been made to an ABLE account of the
designated beneficiary within the prior 12 months.
