Understanding Form 1099-QA–Distributions From ABLE Accounts

Form 1099-QA is a tax form used to report withdrawals (distributions) from an Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) account—a special savings account for individuals with disabilities.

• The money from the ABLE account is used for qualified disability expenses (like housing, education, or healthcare).
• The state or its agency or instrumentality that establishes and maintains the ABLE program must file a Form 1099-QA for each ABLE account from which any distribution was made or which was terminated during the calendar year.
• This form is filed with the IRS, and the recipient copy is distributed to the designated beneficiary (account holder of ABLE account).

Understanding Form 1098-F: Fines, Penalties, and Other Amounts

Form 1098-F is a tax form used to report fines, penalties, and other amounts a business or individual owes to a government agency.

• This form is filed by government agencies and some nongovernmental entities that act as governmental organizations.
• This form reports the total amount involved under a suit, court order, or agreement related to violations of laws meets or exceeds a specific threshold amount ($50,000) set by the IRS. The amounts reported may include costs for services provided or property that must be paid.
• This form is filed with the IRS, and the 1098-F form copy is furnished to the payer of the fines or penalties.
