Limits the maximum annual deduction to $3,000, with a maximum lifetime deduction of $15,000. Provides for an annual inflation adjustment of such deduction based on the Consumer Price Index.
Exempts such individual housing account from income taxation.

Imposes a ten percent surtax on distributions from an individual housing account which are not used for the purchase of a principal residence.
