Abstract: This form will be used to report the contributions of Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) accounts under IRC 529A. IRS uses the information to verify compliance with the reporting rules and to verify that the recipient has included the proper amount of income on his or her income tax return.

Emergency Justfication: The ABLE Act is effective January 1, 2015. The act requires information reporting to the IRS for distributions and contributions from and to the ABLE accounts. We need the information returns available early so that the ABLE Act account providers can do the computer programing for the information that has to be reported to the IRS. Taxpayers will be harmed because they will not be able to comply with the reporting requirements of the ABLE Act, if the information returns are not available for filing.
