Plain-English Summary

People who lose money to fraud would be allowed to claim a tax deduction for their losses, similar to how they can deduct other casualty losses on their tax returns. This would help victims of scams, identity theft, and other fraudulent schemes reduce their taxable income and potentially lower their tax bills. The change would primarily benefit individual taxpayers who have been defrauded and can document their losses.
