S 3976 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Tax Relief for Victims of Crimes, Scams, and Disasters Act

This bill reinstates the personal casualty loss deduction for taxpayers affected by crimes, scams, or disasters, allowing them to deduct these losses from their taxable income again. It specifically applies to losses incurred in taxable years ending before January 1, 2022, for which deductions were previously suspended. The bill also extends the deadline for filing amended tax returns to claim refunds related to these deductions, pushing the window until the date set for filing returns in the year the bill is enacted. This change directly benefits individuals who suffered qualifying losses but couldn't claim tax relief due to the prior suspension of this deduction.
