What it does

The bill would reinstate the federal income tax deduction for personal casualty losses—such as those from crimes, scams, or disasters—that was suspended by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It would allow taxpayers to claim this deduction for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and extend the deadline to file amended returns for refunds related to such losses for returns filed before January 1, 2025. The extension applies only to claims tied to personal casualty losses and does not affect other types of deductions or credits.
