Tax Relief for Disaster Mitigation Home Improvements

This act allows citizens to exclude from their taxable income any money received from state programs for making their homes safer from natural disasters like windstorms, earthquakes, or wildfires. This means funds used for home improvements to reduce disaster damage will not be taxed, potentially increasing safety and reducing losses during natural catastrophes.
Key points
Money received from state programs for home improvements to reduce damage from windstorms, earthquakes, or wildfires will not be taxed.
The exclusion applies to payments specifically for improvements aimed at mitigating catastrophe damage to a residence.
These changes are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021.
