2. READY accounts Part VII of subchapter B of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by redesignating section 224 as section 225 and by inserting after section 223 the following new section: In the case of an individual, there shall be allowed as a deduction for the taxable year an amount equal to the aggregate amount paid in cash during such taxable year by or on behalf of such individual to a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account such individual. The amount allowable as a deduction under subsection (a) to an individual for the taxable year shall not exceed $4,500. In the case of any taxable year beginning in a calendar year after 2025, the $4,500 dollar amount under paragraph (1) shall be increased by an amount equal to— such dollar amount, multiplied by the cost-of-living adjustment determined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which the taxable year begins, determined by substituting in subparagraph (A)(ii) thereof calendar year 2024 for calendar year 2016. If any amount as adjusted under paragraph (1) is not a multiple of $50, such dollar amount shall be rounded to the next lowest multiple of $50. For purposes of this section— The term Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account means a trust created or organized in the United States as a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account exclusively for the purpose of paying the qualified home disaster mitigation and recovery expenses of the account beneficiary, but only if the written governing instrument creating the trust meets the following requirements: Except in the case of a rollover contribution described in subsection (e)(5), no contribution will be accepted— unless it is in cash, or to the extent such contribution, when added to previous contributions to the trust for the calendar year, exceeds the dollar amount in effect under subsection (b)(1). The trustee is a bank (as defined in section 408(n)) or another person who demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary that the manner in which such person will administer the trust will be consistent with the requirements of this section. No part of the trust assets will be invested in life insurance contracts. The assets of the trust will not be commingled with other property except in a common trust fund or common investment fund. The interest of an individual in the balance in his account is nonforfeitable. The term qualified home disaster mitigation and recovery expenses means, with respect to an account beneficiary, amounts paid by such beneficiary for— qualified disaster mitigation measures, or qualified disaster recovery costs, For purposes of subparagraph (A)— The term qualified disaster mitigation measures means any measure described in clause (ii) with respect to a qualified home of the taxpayer if— such measure meets such criteria as the Secretary, in consultation with the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, considers appropriate to mitigate damage from a natural or other disaster, and is certified by a qualified industry professional as meeting such criteria. The following measures are measures described in this clause: Installing a roofing underlayment to sheathing. Replacing a roof covering. Applying a foam adhesive to reinforce the roof structure. Strengthening connection of roof deck to roof framing. Strengthening roof-to-wall connections. Strengthening soffits. Strengthening attic ventilation openings. Installing impact-resistant windows. Installing impact-resistant entry doors. Elevating the residential home. Installing ground anchors. If the qualified home was built according to a building code from a prior year, achieving the current building code standard in the applicable State or locality. Such other measures determined by the Secretary, in consultation with the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to be consistent with the purposes of this section. The term qualified industry professional means an individual who meets such rules and standards as determined appropriate by the Secretary, in consultation with the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term qualified disaster recovery costs means costs for repairing damage to the qualified home of the taxpayer if such damage arises from fire, storm, or other casualty and such costs are not compensated for by insurance or otherwise. For purposes of this section, the term qualified home means, with respect to any taxable year, any structure which is— owned by the taxpayer, and used by the taxpayer as the taxpayer's principal residence (within the meaning of section 121) for the taxable year. The term account beneficiary means the individual on whose behalf the Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account was established. Rules similar to the following rules shall apply for purposes of this section: Section 219(d)(2) (relating to no deduction for rollovers). Section 219(f)(3) (relating to time when contributions deemed made). Section 219(f)(5) (relating to employer payments). Section 408(g) (relating to community property laws). Section 408(h) (relating to custodial accounts). A Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account is exempt from taxation under this subtitle unless such account has ceased to be a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any such account is subject to the taxes imposed by section 511 (relating to imposition of tax on unrelated business income of charitable, etc. organizations). Rules similar to the rules of paragraphs (2) and (4) of section 408(e) shall apply to Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) accounts, and any amount treated as distributed under such rules shall be treated as not used to pay qualified home disaster mitigation and recovery expenses. Any amount paid or distributed out of a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account which is used exclusively to pay qualified home disaster mitigation and recovery expenses of the account beneficiary shall not be includible in gross income. Any amount paid or distributed out of a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account which is not used exclusively to pay the qualified home disaster mitigation and recovery expenses of the account beneficiary shall be included in the gross income of such beneficiary. If any excess contribution is contributed for a taxable year to any Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account of an individual, paragraph (2) shall not apply to distributions from the Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) accounts of such individual (to the extent such distributions do not exceed the aggregate excess contributions to all such accounts of such individual for such year) if— such distribution is received by the individual on or before the last day prescribed by law (including extensions of time) for filing such individual's return for such taxable year, and such distribution is accompanied by the amount of net income attributable to such excess contribution. For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term excess contribution means any contribution (other than a rollover contribution described in paragraph (5)) which is not deductible under this section. The tax imposed by this chapter on the account beneficiary for any taxable year in which there is a payment or distribution from a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account of such beneficiary which is includible in gross income under paragraph (2) shall be increased by 20 percent of the amount which is so includible. An amount is described in this paragraph as a rollover contribution if it meets the requirements of subparagraphs (A) and (B). Paragraph (2) shall not apply to any amount paid or distributed from a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account to the account beneficiary to the extent the amount received is paid into a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account for the benefit of such beneficiary not later than the 60th day after the day on which the beneficiary receives the payment or distribution. This paragraph shall not apply to any amount described in subparagraph (A) received by an individual from a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account if, at any time during the 1-year period ending on the day of such receipt, such individual received any other amount described in subparagraph (A) from a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account which was not includible in the individual's gross income because of the application of this paragraph. The transfer of an individual's interest in a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account to an individual's spouse or former spouse under a divorce or separation instrument described in clause (i) of section 121(d)(3)(C) shall not be considered a taxable transfer made by such individual notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle, and such interest shall, after such transfer, be treated as a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account with respect to which such spouse is the account beneficiary. If the account beneficiary's surviving spouse acquires such beneficiary's interest in a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account by reason of being the designated beneficiary of such account at the death of the account beneficiary, such Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account shall be treated as if the spouse were the account beneficiary. If, by reason of the death of the account beneficiary, any person acquires the account beneficiary's interest in a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account in a case to which subparagraph (A) does not apply— such account shall cease to be a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account as of the date of death, and an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets in such account on such date shall be includible if such person is not the estate of such beneficiary, in such person's gross income for the taxable year which includes such date, or if such person is the estate of such beneficiary, in such beneficiary's gross income for the last taxable year of such beneficiary. The Secretary may require the trustee of a Residential Emergency Asset-accumulation Deferred Taxation Yield (READY) account to make such reports regarding such account to the Secretary and to the account beneficiary with respect to contributions, distributions, the return of excess contributions, and such other matters as the Secretary determines appropriate. The reports required by this subsection shall be filed at such time and in such manner and furnished to such individuals at such time and in such manner as may be required by the Secretary.
