This tax break excludes distributions from employer-sponsored retirement plans like 401(k)s and 403(b)s. So, under current law, individuals must first roll assets into an IRA to make a QCD. The Charity Parity Act would permit direct QCDs from employer-sponsored retirement plans. 38.H.R.8837, S.1840 Retirement Investment in Small Employers (RISE) Act: This legislation raises the floor for the existing $250 per-employee tax credit available to small businesses to create retirement plans, ensuring that all small businesses can receive a tax credit of at least $2,500.

Although IRAs are generally not ERISA plans, they remain subject to DOL-administered prohibited transaction rules because Congress incorporated those rules into the Internal Revenue Code. 41.S.5507 Savers Match Enhancement Act of 2026: The bill makes the existing Savers Match more generous in the following ways. The bill doubles the matching rate from 50 percent to 100 percent, so that the government matches retirement plan contributions dollar for dollar up to $2,000 per year (now indexed to inflation). The bill also increases the amount of people eligible for the match with an income phase-out range beginning at $85,000 to $115,000 for a joint return ($42,500 to $57,500 for single and $63,750 to $86,250 for head of household). Savers Match contributions would now have after-tax Roth treatment, so the contributions and earnings would not be taxed upon distribution but also not be taxable to the saver in the year of contribution unlike normal Roth contributions. 42.S.5550 529 Retirement Enhancement Act of 2026: The bill eliminates the $35,000 lifetime cap on rollovers from 529 education savings accounts to Roth IRAs. 43.H.R.10641 Employee and Retiree Access to Justice Act of 2026: The bill amends ERISA Section 502 to deem pre-dispute and post-dispute forced arbitration clauses, class action waivers, and representation waivers unenforceable. 44.H.R.10702 Workers Retirement Savings Protection Act of 2026: The bill creates a new statutory definition of an investment advice fiduciary under Section 3(21) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). 45.H.R.10703 Protecting Workers Benefits Act of 2026: The bill amends ERISA Section 502 to allow individuals to bring a legal action as assignees on behalf of their plan and get a cut of any settlement or award, similar to whistleblower actions under the False Claims Act. 46.General Account Product Corrections Act: This proposed legislation clarifies fiduciary responsibilities for life insurance companies as it relates to investments in their general accounts. Income Security S. 2415 and H.R. 7107, the Long-Term Care Affordability Act: Would allow for tax free distributions from retirement accounts to fund LTC contracts.
