Bill > S5008

This bill proposes to modify the railroad track maintenance credit in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The key provisions are: 1. Increasing the credit amount from $3,500 to $6,100 per mile of qualified railroad track maintenance expenditures. This amount will also be adjusted for inflation starting in 2025. 2. Extending the eligibility for the credit to expenditures paid or incurred after January 1, 2024, rather than the previous cutoff date of January 1, 2015. The changes made by this bill would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, effectively increasing the available tax credit for businesses that invest in maintaining and improving railroad infrastructure in the United States.
