FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
|
|
Thanks to the effort of Missouri REALTORS
®
, first-time homebuyers in Missouri have a new tool to help them purchase their first home. Called “Missouri First Home,” these First-Time Homebuyer Savings Accounts were approved by the legislature and signed by the Governor in 2018.
The plan functions as a dedicated, tax-free savings account program that would allow Missourians to:
- Deposit up to $1,600 ($3,200 for couples) annually.
- Have parents and grandparents set up accounts for their children or grandchildren and even contribute money to the account.
- Receive a state income tax deduction on the principal investment up to 50% of the maximum deposit.
- Accrue tax-free interest in the account, expediting the time to purchase a first home.
- Apply the savings and any earned interest toward the purchase or construction of a first home in Missouri, including closing costs, taxes and fees.
