Limits the amount of such gift to the lesser of $60,000 or 20 percent of the value of the residence.
Denies an income tax deduction to a donor of homeowner downpayment assistance who receives a direct financial benefit in connection with the purchase of a principal residence for which downpayment assistance was provided.
