Description of Major Changes (A description of changes to a form's instructions that may impact a UWR is also included, as applicable)
This is the 2nd WRN/circulation for Form 5498-QA for TY15PY16.
--Box 4 has been unshaded and "Fair market value" has been added as a title. Reporting fair market value will ensure annual reporting to ensure that
a qualified individual has only 1 ABLE account. IRC 529A(g)(1)
--Box 7, Code, has been created to provide for reporting by disability category to gather information for aggregate reports that can be collected easily
and with minimal burden on trustees. IRC 529A(d)(2)
The first WRN, circulated on March 26, 2015, contained the changes below.
--This is a new form, Form 5498-QA, ABLE Account Contributions Information. P.L. 113-295, ABLE Act of 2014 allows individuals and families
to set money aside in this special account for the purpose of supporting individuals with disabilities to maintain health, independence, and quality of
life, without impacting eligibility for other social service financial assistance programs such as Medicaid.

The information on Form 5498-QA is furnished to you by
the trustee or issuer of your Achieving a Better Life
Experience (ABLE) savings account by May 2, 2016. Form
5498-QA reports contributions and rollover contributions
made for you for 2015.
Beneficiary's taxpayer identification number. For your
protection, this form may show only the last four digits of
your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer
identification number (ITIN), or adoption taxpayer
identification number (ATIN). However, the issuer has
reported your complete identification number to the IRS.
Account number. May show an account or other unique
number the trustee/issuer assigned to distinguish your
account.
Box 1. Shows ABLE account contributions made in 2015
on your behalf. Do not deduct these amounts on your
income tax return.
If the total contributions made to your ABLE account for
2015 exceeded $14,000, you must withdraw the excess,
plus earnings, by the date your tax return is due (including

extensions), or you may owe a penalty. You must keep
track of your ABLE account basis (contributions and
distributions).
Box 2. Shows any rollover (including a direct rollover) you
made in 2015. Generally, any amount rolled over from one
ABLE account to another ABLE account for the benefit of
the named beneficiary or a member of the beneficiary's
family who is described in section 152(d)(2)(B) is not
taxable.
Box 3. Shows the cumulative contributions made to the
ABLE account.
Box 4. Reserved.
