Tax Relief for Losses Caused by Hurricanes Ian, Nicole, and Fiona.
This bill establishes special tax rules for individuals who suffered property losses due to Hurricanes Ian, Nicole, and Fiona in designated disaster areas. It allows affected citizens to deduct these casualty losses without meeting the usual high income threshold (10% of AGI). Furthermore, taxpayers claiming the standard deduction can increase it by the amount of their disaster loss, ensuring relief for more people.
Key points
