Protect Innocent Victims of Taxation After Fire Extension Act

This bill (S 3372) adds a new tax provision to exclude certain wildfire relief payments from individuals' gross income. It applies to payments received for losses like property damage, additional living expenses, or lost wages (not covered by insurance) resulting from federally declared wildfires after December 2014. The exclusion prevents double tax benefits by disallowing deductions for expenses already covered by these payments. The provision takes effect for payments received after December 31, 2025, and directly affects wildfire victims receiving such compensation.
