ABLE accounts are used by people with disabilities as a tax-advantaged way to save for qualified disability expenses. ABLE accounts can be added as assets indirectly as a 529 account, and requires expenses be marked as education expenses. Having an account type specific to ABLE accounts would be much more straight forward.

Contributions to the ABLE account can be tax deductible for some states and distributions from such accounts can be tax-free if used for expenses related to a persons’ disability (varies from state-to-state).
