Form 5498-QA (keep for your records) www.irs.gov/Form5498QA
Instructions for Beneficiary

The information on Form 5498-QA is furnished to you by the issuer of 

your Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) savings account. Form 

5498-QA reports contributions, rollovers, and program-to-program 

transfers to this ABLE account for 2020. For more information, see 

Pub. 907. 

Beneficiary’s taxpayer identification number (TIN). For your 

protection, this form may show only the last four digits of your TIN 

(social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification 

number (ITIN), or adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN)). 

However, the issuer has reported your complete TIN to the IRS.

Account number. May show an account or other unique number the 

issuer assigned to distinguish your account.

Box 1. Shows the amount of contributions made to this ABLE account 

in 2020. Include all cash contributions and Qualified Tuition Plan (QTP) 

to ABLE account rollovers, and QTP to ABLE program-to-program 

transfers. Do not deduct these amounts on your income tax return.

If the total contributions (including any contributions from a section 

529 program/QTP), but not including contributions of the designated 

beneficiary’s compensation income made under section 529A(b)(2)(B)

(ii) made to your ABLE account for 2020 exceeded $15,000, or if the 

contributions of an employed designated beneficiary’s compensation 

income exceeded, the applicable amount under section 529A(b)(2)(B)

(ii), the excess contributions, plus the earnings on them, must be 

returned by the date your tax return is due (including extensions), or 

you may owe a penalty. Check with your ABLE program to verify that 

excess contributions and earnings are returned timely. You must keep 

track of your ABLE account basis (contributions and distributions).

Box 2. Shows the amount of any rollover or program-to-program 

transfer made to this ABLE account from another ABLE account in 

2020. Generally, any amount rolled over from one ABLE account to 

another ABLE account for the benefit of the named beneficiary or of 

an eligible individual who is a member of the beneficiary’s family who 

is described in section 152(d)(2)(B) is not taxable.

Box 3. May show the cumulative amount contributed since the 

establishment of the ABLE account (or of an ABLE account of the 

same designated beneficiary that was rolled over, or directly 

transferred (in a program-to-program transfer), to the current ABLE 

account).

Box 4. Shows the FMV of the ABLE account as of the end of the year.

Box 5. The ABLE account was opened in 2020 if the box is checked.

Box 6. These codes show the basis for your ABLE account eligibility. 

A—eligibility established under 529A(e)(1)(A), SSDI, Title II SSA. 

B—eligibility established under 529A(e)(1)(A), SSI, Title XVI SSA. 

C—eligibility established by disability certification under section 

529A(e)(1)(B). 

Box 7. These codes show the type of disability for which you are 

receiving ABLE account qualifying benefits. 1—developmental 

disorders (including autism); 2—intellectual disability; 3—psychiatric 

disorders; 4—nervous disorders (including blindness and deafness); 

5—congenital anomalies (including Down syndrome); 6—respiratory 

disorders; 7—other.
