Notice 2015–81, page 784. This notice advises how the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intend to respond to comments by revising three provisions of the proposed regulations under § 529A of the Internal Revenue Code when those regulations are finalized. Specifically, commenters noted that the following three requirements for qualified Achieving Better Life Experience (ABLE) programs in the proposed regulations would create significant barriers to the establishment of such programs: (1) the requirement to establish safeguards to categorize distributions from ABLE accounts, (2) the requirement to request the taxpayer identification number (TIN) of each contributor to an ABLE account, and (3) the requirements for disability certifications, and in particular the requirement to process disability certifications with signed physicians’ diagnoses.
