Tax Relief for Disaster Mitigation Payments

This act allows citizens to exclude from their taxable income any money received from state programs for making their homes more resilient to natural disasters like windstorms, earthquakes, or wildfires. This means financial aid for property improvements aimed at reducing disaster damage will not be taxed. The changes apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2020, with an option to amend previous tax returns.
Key points
Funds received for property improvements to reduce damage from windstorms, earthquakes, or wildfires are now tax-exempt.
This applies to payments from state, local, or specific insurance market entities.
The changes are retroactive to tax years starting after 2020, allowing for amended tax returns.
