Tax-favored Savings for Disabled Individuals
Achieving a Better Life (ABLE) accounts are tax-advantaged savings accounts for individuals with disabilities and their families. Funds in the account can be used to pay for various qualified expenses without losing eligibility for government benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Be sure you work with your legal and tax professionals to avoid any missteps.
Who Is Eligible?
To be eligible for an ABLE account, individuals must have been diagnosed with a significant disability before age 26 (This limit will raise to age 46 in 2026). The beneficiary, the beneficiary’s family, and friends can contribute to the account. Contribution limits are tied to the annual gift tax exemption amount (currently $17,000). Disabled individuals who earn income can contribute that income to their ABLE accounts above the gift tax exemption limit.What Are Qualified Expenses?
Funds in an ABLE account are invested and potentially grow tax-free. Money can be used to pay for expenses such as basic living costs, education, housing, transportation, employment training, health care, assistive technology/services, financial management and administrative services, and legal fees.CONTACT US
