Holiday Bonus Tax Relief Act of 2025

This bill creates a tax exclusion for certain holiday bonuses, allowing employees to receive up to $2,500 tax-free each year. It directly affects employees who receive employer-paid bonuses in November, December, or January, excluding that amount from taxable income. The $2,500 limit adjusts for inflation annually after 2026. Employers must report these bonuses on employees' W-2 forms, and the provisions take effect for bonuses paid on or after November 1, 2025.
