There shall be added to federal taxable income the amount of funds a taxpayer holds in a first-time home buyer savings account not expended on eligible costs by December 31 of the last year of the 10-year period described under ORS 316.798 (3) if in a previous tax year those funds were subtracted or exempted from federal taxable income under ORS 316.798.

The Department of Revenue shall assess a penalty against the taxpayer in the amount of five percent of the funds withdrawn from a taxpayer’s first-time home buyer savings account, if:
