Official Summary

Restore American Dream Act of 2007 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to establish tax-exempt homeownership plans. Allows a tax deduction from gross income for cash contributions to such plans.

Excludes from gross income distributions from a homeownership plan used to pay the costs of acquiring a principal residence. Sets forth rules governing:
(1) transfers of an interest in a plan due to death or divorce;
(2) penalties for making distributions from a plan for purposes other than to acquire a principal residence; and
