Doug LaMalfa Protect Innocent Victims of Taxation After Fire Extension Act

Key claim: HR7825 would extend the federal income tax exclusion for fire victim settlement and loss income, referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means in March 2026.

Abstract

(HR7825 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-03-05): Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Why this matters

A House companion to the Senate’s fire-victim tax relief extension signals bicameral interest in continuing the exclusion of wildfire settlement and loss payments from federal gross income. For fire-loss recipients, enactment would preserve reduced federal tax liability on covered payments; without extension, such recipients would face higher taxable income when existing relief lapses.
