Bill overview
This bill, the Doug LaMalfa Federal Disaster Tax Relief Certainty Act, extends key tax provisions for individuals affected by major disasters. It expands the ability to deduct personal casualty losses from disasters declared by the President, removing a $500 limit and clarifying the definition of a ‘qualified disaster area.’ Additionally, the bill extends the exclusion from gross income for qualified wildfire relief payments related to forest fires declared as federal disasters after 2014, and adjusts the deduction for disaster losses. These changes aim to provide greater financial relief to taxpayers impacted by significant disasters.
