Plain-English Summary
People who lose money or property due to crimes, scams, or natural disasters would be allowed to deduct those losses from their taxable income, reducing the taxes they owe. This would primarily help individual victims recover some financial relief through the tax system, though the exact rules about which losses qualify and how much can be deducted would be determined by the legislation's details. The change would affect millions of Americans who experience theft, fraud, or disaster-related losses each year.
