Universal Savings Account Act of 2025

HR 3186, the Universal Savings Account Act of 2025, creates a new tax-advantaged savings account type. It allows individuals to contribute up to $10,000 in 2025 (increasing annually with inflation, capped at $25,000), with contributions growing tax-free until withdrawal. The accounts must be held by banks or approved institutions, accept only cash contributions, and prohibit investments in life insurance. This directly affects individual savers seeking tax-free growth for future needs, excluding retirement-specific accounts like IRAs. The bill takes effect for taxable years starting after December 31, 2024.
