An Act to Provide an Income Tax Deduction for Certain Contributions to a Qualified Achieving a Better Life Experience Program Account

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill creates a new state income tax deduction for contributions made to a qualified Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) program account. Starting in 2025, individuals can deduct up to $1,000 per eligible person, but this deduction is not available to single filers or married persons filing separately with federal adjusted gross income over $100,000, or to joint filers and heads of households with income over $200,000. This change aims to align the tax treatment of ABLE contributions with those made to 529 college savings plans.
