Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Congress would raise the limit for penalty-free retirement withdrawals used to buy a first home from $10,000 to $50,000.
- This could let first-time buyers tap more of their retirement money for a down payment or closing costs without the early-withdrawal penalty.
- The change would apply to tax years starting after December 31, 2024, so it could affect withdrawals made for 2025 and later taxes.
- It may help some people buy sooner, but it also means taking more money out of retirement savings that won’t be there later.
