*People and families paying for disability-related expenses should consider an ABLE savings account*

People with disabilities and their families can use Achieving a Better Life Experience or ABLE accounts [ [link removed] ]?to help pay for qualified disability-related expenses. ABLE accounts are tax-advantaged savings accounts that don?t affect eligibility for government assistance programs. Here are some key things people should know about these accounts.

*Annual contribution limit*


* The 2022 limit is $16,000.
* Certain employed ABLE account beneficiaries may make an additional contribution up to the lesser of these amounts:
* The designated beneficiary's compensation for the tax year or
* For 2022, $12,880 for residents in the continental U.S., $16,090 in Alaska and $14,820 in Hawaii.?

*Saver's credit*


* ABLE account designated beneficiaries may be eligible to claim the?saver's credit [ [link removed] ]?for a percentage of their contributions.?
* The beneficiary claims the credit on?Form 8880, Credit for Qualified Retirement Savings Contributions [ [link removed] ]. The saver's credit is a non-refundable credit available to individuals who meet these three requirements:
* Are at least 18 years old at the close of the taxable year
* Are not a dependent or a full-time student
* Meet the income requirements

*Rollovers and transfers from section 529 plans*


* Families may roll over funds from a 529 plan to another family member's ABLE account.?
* The ABLE account must be for the same beneficiary as the 529 account or for a member of the same family as the 529 account holder. Rollovers from a section 529 plan count toward the annual contribution limit.?For example, the $16,000 annual contribution limit for 2022 would be met by parents contributing $10,000 to their child's ABLE account and rolling over $6,000 from a 529 plan to the same ABLE account.

*Qualified disability expenses*


* States can offer ABLE accounts to help people who become disabled before age 26 or their families 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, if they are used to pay qualified disability expenses.?
