Clear rules for Montana ABLE accounts

The law makes the ABLE program use the same meaning of “Internal Revenue Code” as Montana’s income tax law. This clears up which federal 529A rules apply to your Montana ABLE account. It does not change who qualifies, how much you can contribute, or what counts as a qualified expense. The law takes effect immediately and applies to income tax years beginning after December 31, 2024.
