I’m a tax accountant so I’d like to chime in. Unless I’m missing done thing, there is no tax benefit/deduction when the funds go into an ABLE acct. Only benefit is tax free growth. So in order to obtain that tax-free growth benefit you have to let the funds sit, untouched, as long as possible. If you put funds in and take them out a year or two later, there’s little to no benefit

  Hi Jill,
  
  You’re partially correct. Low income tax payers can qualify fot the savers credit by contributing to an ABLE account. For higher-income tax payers, the benefits are much greater if the money is invested and is allowed to grow for a long period of time. As you know, investment growth is uneven, so there could be a great deal of growth in a short period of time E.g. 2010 – 2021, but that isn’t garonteed at all.
