Bill overview
This bill would reinstate the ability for employees to deduct unreimbursed business expenses on their federal income tax returns. Specifically, it would allow taxpayers to deduct 85% of expenses like food, lodging, travel, and transportation incurred while working, subject to a modified floor. This provision would be in effect through 2027, extending a deduction previously limited to 2025. The bill aims to provide tax relief to employees who don't receive reimbursement for work-related costs.
