A BILL To provide an exclusion from gross income for compensation for expenses and losses resulting from certain wildfires.

AI Summary

This bill, the Protect Innocent Victims Of Taxation After Fire Act, proposes to exclude from an individual's gross income any "qualified wildfire relief payments" received as compensation for expenses or losses incurred due to a "qualified wildfire disaster" (defined as a federally declared disaster resulting from a forest or range fire) that occurred after December 31, 2014. The bill also denies any double benefit by disallowing deductions or credits for expenditures to the extent they are covered by the excluded payments, and it limits the application of this exclusion to payments received during taxable years beginning after December 31, 2019, and before January 1, 2026.
