No Tax on PFAS Cleanup Payments: Relief for Contamination Remediation

This law ensures that money individuals receive to clean up contamination from harmful PFAS chemicals will not be counted as taxable income. This means people affected by PFAS contamination can keep more of their reimbursement funds to cover cleanup costs, easing their financial burden. The changes apply retroactively to payments received since the beginning of 2021.
Key points
Payments received for cleaning up PFAS chemical contamination are now exempt from federal income tax.
This tax exemption applies to reimbursements received in tax years starting after December 31, 2020.
Individuals who previously paid tax on such reimbursements may have an extended period to claim a refund or credit.
