Bill overview
This bill, the Tax Relief for Victims of Crimes, Scams, and Disasters Act, aims to restore a tax deduction for individuals who have suffered losses due to crimes, scams, or disasters. It eliminates a previous suspension of this deduction that was in place from 2018 to 2025 and extends the timeframe for taxpayers to file amended returns claiming these losses. Specifically, it modifies the Internal Revenue Code to reinstate the deduction as it existed before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
