HR 6842 United States House · 119th Congress

Disaster Survivors Tax Relief and Recovery Act

This bill provides tax relief to individuals affected by qualifying disasters. It allows taxpayers to use their previous year's earned income to calculate tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit if their 2025 income was reduced by a disaster. The bill temporarily removes limits on charitable contributions for disaster relief, permits penalty-free withdrawals up to $100,000 from retirement plans, and adjusts rules for claiming personal casualty losses related to disasters. These provisions apply to individuals whose principal homes were in designated disaster areas during specific periods. The bill aims to help disaster survivors recover financially by easing tax burdens related to their losses.
