Carried Interest Fairness Act of 2025
The Carried Interest Fairness Act of 2025 would change how investment fund managers are taxed on their "carried interest" - the share of profits they earn for managing investment funds. Currently, this is often taxed at lower capital gains rates, but the bill would require it to be taxed as ordinary income instead. It creates new rules for "investment services partnership interests" and specifies that gains and losses from these interests must be treated as ordinary income or loss. The bill directly affects investment fund managers and aims to align their tax treatment more closely with how other business income is taxed.
