Tax Relief and Sales Tax Ban on Diapers to Help Families.
This bill aims to reduce the financial burden on families by making two major changes. It reclassifies diapers as qualified medical expenses, allowing them to be purchased using tax-advantaged health savings accounts (HSA/FSA). Furthermore, the law prohibits state and local governments from imposing sales taxes on the retail purchase of diapers, lowering the cost for all consumers.
Key points
Diapers are now treated as qualified medical expenses, allowing purchases using funds from Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Arrangements (FSAs).
States and local governments are prohibited from charging sales tax on the retail purchase of diapers, resulting in immediate savings for consumers.
These financial relief measures are scheduled to take effect for expenses incurred after December 31, 2024.
