Congressional Research Service summary, version: Introduced in Senate (Jun 4, 2025)
READY Accounts Act
This bill establishes a new Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account, allows individuals to make tax-deductible contributions of up to $4,500 per year to such accounts (adjusted annually for inflation beginning in 2027), and allows individuals to take tax-free distributions from such accounts to pay for qualified home disaster mitigation and recovery expenses related to a principal residence owned by the taxpayer.
Under the bill, qualified home disaster mitigation expenses include expenses certified by a qualified industry professional as meeting criteria to mitigate damage from a natural or other disaster, including
• installing a roofing underlayment to sheathing, impact-resistant windows, impact-resistant entry doors, or ground anchors;
• replacing a roof covering;
• applying a foam adhesive to reinforce the roof structure;
• strengthening the connection of the roof deck to roof framing, roof-to-wall connections, soffits, or attic ventilation openings;
• elevating a residence; or
• achieving the current building code standard.
Qualified home disaster recovery expenses include costs for repairing damage to a residence resulting from fire, storm, or other casualty (provided such costs are not reimbursed).
Distributions from a READY account used for anything other than qualified home disaster mitigation and recovery expenses must be included in gross income and are subject to a 20% penalty. (Some exceptions apply.)
Finally, the bill imposes a 6% tax on contributions in excess of the annual limit. (Some exceptions apply.)
