To provide a tax credit for new parents in this state in certain circumstances.
HB 5169 would create a state tax deduction for West Virginia parents who make payments related to their children's eligibility for a "Trump Account" under federal law (26 U.S.C. § 530A). The bill specifies that only parents whose children qualify for this federal account would be eligible, and payments made for the account would be deductible similarly to existing 529 college savings plan contributions. This deduction would apply to state income tax returns for qualifying families. The bill references a non-existent federal provision (26 U.S.C. § 530A), making the policy mechanism based on a fictional federal program.
