Lower taxes on home down-payment withdrawals
You would be able to exclude from your taxable income distributions from IRAs, defined contribution plans, 403(a)/403(b) plans, and eligible 457(b) plans when the money is used for a down payment or closing costs on a main home for you or an eligible relative. Eligible relatives are your spouse or any child, grandchild, or ancestor of you or your spouse. Transfers you make to an eligible relative for their down payment or closing costs would not be treated as a gift for gift tax purposes. The exclusion would apply to distributions in tax years beginning after December 31, 2025 and would not apply to distributions made in tax years beginning after December 31, 2030. Special aggregation rules for IRAs and defined contribution plans would affect how much of a distribution can be excluded.
