New Tax-Exempt Savings Accounts for Trade and Apprenticeship Training.

This Act establishes the "Jumpstart Program," a new tax-advantaged savings vehicle designed to help citizens fund vocational training and skilled trade careers. Contributions grow tax-free, and withdrawals are exempt from tax when used for qualified expenses related to apprenticeships, technical college programs, licensing fees, and necessary tools. This provides significant financial support for individuals pursuing non-traditional career paths, effective starting in 2026.
Key points
Creation of Jumpstart Program (Section 529B) accounts, offering tax-exempt growth and distributions for qualified trade expenses.
Qualified expenses include costs for registered apprenticeship programs, technical college tuition, professional licensing fees, and the purchase of necessary tools and equipment.
Allows tax-free rollovers of funds from existing 529 Qualified Tuition Programs into the new Jumpstart accounts.
The new rules apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
