Storm Recovery and Community Restoration Act

Section 72(t) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall not apply to any qualified Iowa disaster distribution.

For purposes of this subsection, the aggregate amount of distributions received by an individual which may be treated as qualified Iowa disaster distributions for any taxable year shall not exceed the excess (if any) of—

(i) $100,000, over

(ii) the aggregate amounts treated as qualified Iowa disaster distributions received by such individual for all prior taxable years.

If a distribution to an individual would (without regard to subparagraph (A)) be a qualified Iowa disaster distribution, a plan shall not be treated as violating any requirement of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 merely because the plan treats such distribution as a qualified Iowa disaster distribution, unless the aggregate amount of such distributions from all plans maintained by the employer (and any member of any controlled group which includes the employer) to such individual exceeds $100,000.

For purposes of subparagraph (B), the term controlled group means any group treated as a single employer under subsection (b), (c), (m), or (o) of section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Any individual who receives a qualified Iowa disaster distribution may, at any time during the 3-year period beginning on the day after the date on which such distribution was received, make one or more contributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such distribution to an eligible retirement plan of which such individual is a beneficiary and to which a rollover contribution of such distribution could be made under section 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3), or 457(e)(16), of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as the case may be.

For purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if a contribution is made pursuant to subparagraph (A) with respect to a qualified Iowa disaster distribution from an eligible retirement plan other than an individual retirement plan, then the taxpayer shall, to the extent of the amount of the contribution, be treated as having received the qualified Iowa disaster distribution in an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in section 402(c)(4) of such Code) and as having transferred the amount to the eligible retirement plan in a direct trustee to trustee transfer within 60 days of the distribution.

For purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if a contribution is made pursuant to subparagraph (A) with respect to a qualified Iowa disaster distribution from an individual retirement plan (as defined by section 7701(a)(37) of such Code), then, to the extent of the amount of the contribution, the qualified Iowa disaster distribution shall be treated as a distribution described in section 408(d)(3) of such Code and as having been transferred to the eligible retirement plan in a direct trustee to trustee transfer within 60 days of the distribution.

For purposes of this subsection—

Except as provided in paragraph (2), the term qualified Iowa disaster distribution means any distribution from an eligible retirement plan made on or after the applicable date, and before January 1, 2026, to an individual whose principal place of abode on the applicable date, is located in the Iowa disaster area.

For purposes of paragraph (1), the term Iowa disaster area means—

(i) any area within the Iowa counties of Clarke, Harrison, Mills, Polk, Pottawattamie, Ringgold, Shelby, or Union with respect to which a major disaster was declared, during the period beginning on April 26, 2024, and ending on the date which is 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, by the President under section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, and

(ii) any area within the Iowa counties of Clay, Emmet, Lyon, Plymouth, or Sioux with respect to which a major disaster was declared, during the period beginning on June 16, 2024, and ending on the date which is 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, by the President under section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.

For purposes of this paragraph, the term applicable date means—

(i) in the case of a disaster area described in subparagraph (B)(i), April 26, 2024, and

(ii) in the case of a disaster area described in subparagraph (B)(ii), June 16, 2024.

The term eligible retirement plan has the meaning given such term by section 402(c)(8)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

In the case of any qualified Iowa disaster distribution, unless the taxpayer elects not to have this paragraph apply for any taxable year, any amount required to be included in gross income for such taxable year shall be so included ratably over the 3-taxable-year period beginning with such taxable year.

For purposes of subparagraph (A), rules similar to the rules of subparagraph (E) of section 408A(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall apply.

For purposes of sections 401(a)(31), 402(f), and 3405 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, qualified Iowa disaster distributions shall not be treated as eligible rollover distributions.

For purposes the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, a qualified Iowa disaster distribution shall be treated as meeting the requirements of sections 401(k)(2)(B)(i), 403(b)(7)(A)(ii), 403(b)(11), and 457(d)(1)(A) of such Code.

Any individual who received a qualified distribution may, during the period beginning on the applicable date, and ending on December 31, 2024, make one or more contributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such qualified distribution to an eligible retirement plan (as defined in section 402(c)(8)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) of which such individual is a beneficiary and to which a rollover contribution of such distribution could be made under section 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), or 408(d)(3), of such Code, as the case may be.
