What we don't know yet

These are the 530A questions no primary source has settled. Rather than guess, the calculator keeps each one behind a flag — off until it can cite a source. Last reviewed .

529 rollover at 18 · unverified — treated as not permitted / estimated

Statute only specifies Traditional-IRA treatment at 18 (Roth conversion taxable). UI must show 529 as "not currently permitted".

When it should resolve: Would require an amendment or explicit guidance; none found in the statute.

Exact early-withdrawal penalty · unverified — treated as not permitted / estimated

Assumed 10% IRA-style; exact 530A figure pending IRS/Treasury confirmation.

When it should resolve: Expected in IRS/Treasury guidance implementing §530A.

"Qualified class" for charity/government contributions · unverified — treated as not permitted / estimated

Pending March 2026 proposed regulations; show general note only.

When it should resolve: Expected in the Treasury regulations (originally anticipated March 2026, still pending as of our last review).

Cap-indexing mechanics after 2027 · unverified — treated as not permitted / estimated

Cap is indexed after 2027 but the mechanics (rounding, reference index) are unconfirmed; model uses the flat cap plus a labeled estimate.

When it should resolve: Expected alongside the first indexed cap announcement.

How this list works. Each entry mirrors a feature flag in the open-source code — the calculator literally cannot use an unverified rule. When a primary source lands, the flag flips with a citation and the change appears in updates.
