HouseTax Relief for Fraud Victims Act
The House of Representatives has passed this bill. It now moves to the Senate.
In brief
The Tax Relief for Fraud Victims Act expands the federal tax deduction for personal theft losses by repealing the requirement that such losses arise from a declared disaster. It allows taxpayers to deduct losses from fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation in the year they occur, extends the refund claim deadline for these losses, and waives the 10% penalty for related early distributions from retirement plans. Introduced by Representative Max Miller (R-OH), the bill passed the House in September 2026 and has been referred to the Senate Committee on Finance.
