What it does

The bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code to exclude qualified wildfire relief payments from gross income for individuals affected by federally declared wildfire disasters occurring after December 31, 2014. It applies to compensation for losses such as property damage, lost wages, personal injury, or emotional distress, but only to the extent not covered by insurance or other sources. The exclusion would take effect for amounts received after December 31, 2025, and would terminate on December 31, 2032, preventing double benefits by disallowing deductions, credits, or basis increases for the same expenses.
