What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "First Time Homeowner Savings Plan Act," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It aims to increase the amount of money that can be withdrawn from individual retirement plans without a penalty for first-time homebuyers. The proposal would raise the current limit from $10,000 to $25,000. Additionally, it includes a provision to adjust this new $25,000 limit for inflation starting after the year 2026. These changes would apply to distributions made on or after December 31, 2025.
