Furthermore, the legislation clarifies that the definition of "losses from wagering transactions" encompasses any deductions otherwise allowable under the tax code that are incurred in carrying out such transactions. These changes are slated to take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025 , aiming to restore prior limitations on gambling loss deductions.
