First-Time Home Buyer Empowerment Act
This bill amends the tax code to allow first-time homebuyers to use funds from 529 college savings plans for home purchases without tax penalties, under specific conditions. It permits tax-free withdrawals of the original contributions (plus earnings) if the account was maintained for 15 years, the funds are used within 60 days for a first home purchase, and the total lifetime withdrawals do not exceed $35,000. If the home is sold within 5 years, a recapture tax may apply based on the time held. It directly affects first-time homebuyers who have maintained 529 plans for 15 years and use the funds for qualifying home purchases.
