Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Any State or its agency or instrumentality that establishes and maintains a qualified ABLE program must file Form 1099-QA with the IRS for each ABLE account from which any distribution was made or which was terminated.

 

The information about a distribution reported on Form 1099-QA needs to be reported on a tax return only if any part of the distribution was used for a purpose other than the support of a disabled individual. Any amounts distributed in excess of qualified disability expenses must be included in the individual's taxable income and will be subject to a 10% penalty.

 

Any excess amount would be entered as follows in TurboTax Online:

 

  • Click "Other Tax Situations"  
  • Scroll down to "Additional Tax Payments" and click Show more
  • Scroll down to Additional taxes and repayments and click Start
  • At the screen, Any Other Taxes? note that it includes excess ABLE account contributions or distributions. Select Yes and continue with the interview.
