jointly, received after 2019 and before the due date of your 2022 return

credit may be claimed for the amount of contributions you, as the
designated beneficiary of an ABLE account, make before January 1,
2026, to the ABLE account. See Pub. 907, Tax Highlights for Persons
With Disabilities, for more information.

to a 501(c)(18)(D) plan; or (e) contributions, as a designated beneficiary
of an ABLE account, to the ABLE account, as defined in section 529A.

than $34,000 ($51,000 if head of household; $68,000 if married filing

you:
