Bill overview
The Tax Fairness for Survivors Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to exclude payments received as a result of judgments, awards, or settlements related to sexual assault or sexual harassment claims from a taxpayer’s gross income. This includes payments like back pay, front pay, or punitive damages. The bill also adjusts related sections of the tax code, specifically concerning social security taxes, railroad retirement taxes, unemployment taxes, wage withholding, and the table of sections, to ensure these exclusions are properly applied.
