Subd. 2.Designation of qualified beneficiary.
(a) The account holder must designate a first-time home buyer as the qualified beneficiary of the account in a form and manner prescribed by the commissioner following the taxable year in which the account was established.

This may be done upon filing the account holder's income tax return or in any other way the commissioner determines to be appropriate.

Subd. 3.Joint account holders.
An individual may jointly own a first-time home buyer account with another person if the joint account holders file a married joint income tax return.
