To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to sunset the Federal income tax on unemployment compensation.
HR 2655 would end the federal income tax on unemployment compensation for most recipients starting in 2025. It amends the tax code to remove the requirement that unemployment benefits be included in taxable income after December 31, 2024. This means individuals receiving unemployment benefits in 2025 or later would not owe federal income tax on those payments. The change applies to all eligible unemployment benefits received after the 2024 deadline, effectively sunsetting the existing tax treatment.
