This legislation, titled the Disaster Survivors Tax Relief and Recovery Act, aims to provide comprehensive tax relief to individuals and communities impacted by federally declared disasters occurring between late 2024 and 2025. It introduces several provisions designed to ease financial burdens and support recovery efforts in qualified disaster areas and zones. One key provision allows qualified individuals to elect to use their prior year's earned income for calculating the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit if their current year's income is lower due to a disaster. This ensures that disaster survivors can still access crucial tax benefits. The bill also temporarily modifies limitations on charitable contributions , allowing individuals and corporations to deduct more cash contributions made for disaster relief efforts between January 1, 2025, and 60 days after the bill's enactment, and increases the deduction limit for food inventory donations. Significant relief is provided for the use of retirement funds . The bill waives the 10% early withdrawal penalty for up to $100,000 in "qualified disaster distributions" and allows these amounts to be repaid within three years or have the income inclusion spread over a three-year period. It also permits the recontribution of certain retirement withdrawals intended for home purchases that were disrupted by a disaster. Furthermore, the legislation increases the maximum loan amount from qualified employer plans to $100,000 for disaster-affected individuals and delays repayment due dates for existing plan loans. For individuals incurring losses, the bill establishes special rules for qualified disaster-related personal casualty losses . It increases the standard deduction by the amount of net disaster loss and reduces the per-casualty floor from $100 to $500 for these specific losses. The legislation also extends the exclusion from gross income for compensation received for losses or damages resulting from certain wildfires until 2036. Finally, it provides additional Low-Income Housing Tax Credit allocations for 2026 and 2027 to states with qualified disaster zones, and extends the deadline for placing these housing projects in service.
