On March 10, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released a notice to provide advance notification for section 529A of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the creation of accounts under the ABLE Act. Concerned that the lack of regulations surrounding these tax-exempt accounts may slow down or hinder enabling legislation, the IRS clarified that individuals that have accounts before the final rules are written will not lose benefits if not fully in compliance.
