Understanding the definition of a ‘home’ is crucial for FHSA
Understanding the definition of a ‘home’ is crucial when starting a First Home Savings Account (FHSA). Clients cannot open a FHSA or make a tax-free withdrawal if they, or their partner, has lived in a home owned this year or in any of the past four calendar years. Additionally, tax-free withdrawals are only allowed when purchasing a qualifying home. For eligible clients looking to take the next step toward homeownership, Equitable is offering an added incentive to build their FHSA savings this summer.
From May 1 to August 31, 2026, certain FHSA actions — opening an account and every contribution— earns an entry into Equitable’s Grow Your Way Home contest. Supporting clients is simple with EZcomplete® and EZtransact®.
Speak to your Director, Investment Sales for more information and help guide clients through FHSA benefits, contribution strategies and simple ways to automate their savings throughout the summer. Together, you can help them move confidently toward their first home purchase.
