Taxation

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the railroad track maintenance credit.

United States · United States Congress · 16 January 2025

This bill increases the annual limit on the tax credit for qualified railroad track maintenance expenses (also referred to as the short line railroad tax credit) and expands eligibility for claiming the credit. Under current law, the tax credit is limited each tax year to $3,500 multiplied by the sum of the number of miles of railroad track owned or leased by the taxpayer (miles owned or leased) and the number of railroad track miles assigned to the taxpayer by a Class II or III railroad (miles assigned). This bill increases the annual limit to $6,100 multiplied by the sum of miles owned or leased and miles assigned. The $6,100 amount used in the calculation of the tax credit limit is adjusted for inflation for tax years beginning after 2025. The bill also expands eligibility for the tax credit to include gross expenses for maintaining railroad tracks owned or leased as of January 1, 2024. Under current law, the tax credit is limited to gross expenses for maintaining railroad tracks owned or leased as of January 1, 2015.

Health Disparity Zones Act of 2026

United States · United States Congress · 25 June 2026

Health Disparity Zones Act of 2026 This bill provides for the designation of Health Disparity Zones in certain geographic areas with documented and measurable health disparities. This designation, which expires 10 fiscal years after the bill's enactment, confers eligibility for certain grants, student loan repayment programs, and tax credits for those working to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes in these zones. Specifically, community-based nonprofits or local government agencies, in coalition with health care providers, social service organizations, and others, may apply to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for the designation. The application must include a plan to reduce health disparities and achieve other outcomes. In implementing the program, HHS must consult with, among others, the Department of Housing and Urban Development. When approving applications, HHS shall consider factors including geographic diversity and the commitment of supporting funds from the private sector. HHS (1) may award grants to organizations or agencies that applied for the designation to support activities aligned with their plans, and (2) must carry out a student loan repayment program for health care providers who agree to provide services in a Health Disparity Zone. In addition, the bill establishes tax credits for employers that hire, and individuals who work as, Health Disparity Zone workers.

United States · United States Congress · 18 July 2026

This concurrent resolution establishes the congressional budget for the federal government for FY2027, sets forth budgetary levels for FY2028-FY2036, and provides reconciliation instructions for legislation that increases the deficit.  The resolution recommends levels and amounts for FY2027-FY2036 for federal revenues, new budget authority, budget outlays, deficits (on-budget), debt subject to limit, debt held by the public, and the major functional categories of spending. The resolution includes reconciliation instructions that direct the House Agriculture Committee, the House Armed Services Committee, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the House Administration Committee to submit recommendations for legislation that will increase the deficit over FY2027-FY2036 by not more than specified amounts. Each committee must submit the recommendations to the House Budget Committee by September 11, 2026.  (Under current law, reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.) In addition, the resolution establishes a reserve fund that allows certain adjustments to committee allocations and other budgetary levels to accommodate reconciliation legislation. Finally, the resolution sets forth budget enforcement procedures that address issues such as adjustments to committee allocations and other budgetary levels; the budgetary treatment of the discretionary administrative expenses for the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Postal Service; emergency spending; and additional adjustments for disaster relief, wildfire suppression, health care fraud and abuse control, continuing disability reviews and redeterminations, and reemployment services and eligibility assessments.

SAFEGUARDS Act of 2026

United States · United States Congress · 12 May 2026

Spending Aviation Fees for Equipment, Guaranteeing Upgraded and Advanced Risk Detection and Safety Act of 2026 or the SAFEGUARDS Act of 2026 This bill allocates additional funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for aviation security, including checked baggage explosives detection equipment and security checkpoint technology. As background, TSA collects passenger civil aviation security service fees (often referred to as the 9/11 security fee or passenger security fee) on air carrier passengers originating at airports in the United States. In general, these fees are deposited into the Department of the Treasury general fund and applied towards debt reduction. A portion of these fees are allocated to TSA for aviation security. The bill requires that the first $500 million collected in each fiscal year from passenger security fees be deposited into the Aviation Security Capital Fund. This is an increase from the currently required $250 million. This fund provides for the costs associated with acquiring and installing in-line baggage screening systems (i.e., systems that use a conveyor belt infrastructure to automatically screen, sort, and track baggage) to accommodate checked baggage explosives detection equipment and for certain other airport security improvements. The bill also requires that the next $250 million collected in each fiscal year from passenger security fees be deposited into a new Aviation Security Checkpoint Technology Fund for the costs associated with acquiring, installing, and sustaining aviation security checkpoint technology.

Taxpayer Advocate Participation Act

United States · United States Congress · 29 June 2026

Taxpayer Advocate Participation Act This bill authorizes the National Taxpayer Advocate to appear as amicus curiae and submit amicus briefs in a U.S. court in cases involving federal tax law. Further, the bill requires federal courts to permit such appearances. (An amicus curiae is a person or group that is not a party in a court case but has an interest in the case and may be permitted to submit a brief, known as an amicus brief, to the court in relation to the case.) Under the bill, the National Taxpayer Advocate may present the views of the National Taxpayer Advocate in such a case only with respect to an issue which may broadly affect certain rights of taxpayers. As background, the National Taxpayer Advocate leads the Taxpayer Advocate Service, which is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) responsible for helping taxpayers resolve problems with the IRS. The National Taxpayer Advocate is also responsible for proposing administrative and legislative changes to mitigate such problems. Under current law, the National Taxpayer Advocate is not authorized to appear as amicus curiae or submit amicus briefs in cases involving federal tax law.

United States · United States Congress · 29 June 2026

Upon completion of the pilot program, the Government Accountability Office must submit a report to Congress describing the aggregate amount of improper tax refunds or reduced tax liability attributable to fraud detected by the pilot program, aggregate amount recovered as a result of the pilot program, and accuracy of the artificial intelligence tools used in the pilot program in identifying fraudulent federal tax returns.

Tax Exempt Hospital Transparency Act

United States · United States Congress · 29 June 2026

Tax Exempt Hospital Transparency Act This bill requires tax-exempt hospital organizations to report additional information to the Internal Revenue Service. The bill defines a tax-exempt hospital organization as an organization that is licensed or recognized as a hospital and is required to conduct a community health needs assessment and adopt a strategy to meet the needs identified in the assessment, have a written financial assistance policy, limit charges for emergency and medically necessary care provided to individuals eligible for financial assistance and prohibit the use of gross charges, meet certain billing and collection requirements, and file IRS Form 990 (Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax). Under the bill, a tax-exempt hospital organization must include with Form 990 certain identifying information and a description of how the organization addresses the needs identified in the most recent community health needs assessment, the needs not addressed, and the reasons why needs are not being addressed; audited financial statements; the value (at cost) of the financial assistance provided; and the numbers of completed financial assistance applications received, granted, and denied during the tax year. Further information reporting requirements are imposed on certain large or high-revenue tax-exempt hospital organizations. Finally, the bill requires the Government Accountability Office to (1) study and report the costs associated with the additional information reporting requirements, and (2) estimate the amount of tax revenue that would be generated from the 25 tax-exempt hospital organizations with the highest gross revenue if such organizations were not exempt from tax.

Protecting Taxpayers from Ghost Preparers Act

United States · United States Congress · 29 June 2026

Protecting Taxpayers from Ghost Preparers Act This bill limits the amount of time the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has to assess taxes related to fraudulent or false federal tax returns where there is no intent by the taxpayer to evade taxes. The bill also expands the types of documents for which various penalties may be imposed against tax return preparers. As background, the IRS generally has three years from the date that a tax return is filed (statute of limitations) to assess taxes owed by the taxpayer for the tax year. However, if a false or fraudulent tax return is filed with the intent to evade tax (fraud exception), then the IRS may assess taxes at any time. In  Murrin v. Commissioner the U.S. Tax Court held (and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed) that the fraud exception applies when a tax return preparer places false or fraudulent entries on a tax return without the taxpayer’s knowledge. In contrast, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims held in BASR Partnership v. Commissioner that the fraud exception only applies if the taxpayer intends to evade taxes. The bill limits the fraud exception to cases in which the taxpayer intends to evade taxes. Further, under the bill, tax return preparers may be subject to penalties related to false or fraudulent documents purporting to be federal tax returns, partnership administrative adjustment requests, or partnership adjustment tracking reports. (Currently, the penalties apply if the documents are valid submissions to the IRS.)

Dollar-for-Dollar Deficit Reduction Act The bill establishes a framework to require legislation that increases or suspends the public debt limit to include spending reductions that are equal to or greater than the projected increase in debt that will occur under the legislation. The bill allows the spending reductions to be phased in over the period that includes the current and next 10 fiscal years. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of the Treasury to notify the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee when it determines that the federal government will reach the debt limit within 60 days without the implementation of extraordinary measures. The notification must also indicate when extraordinary measures may be necessary to prolong the funding of the federal government in the absence of a debt limit increase. In addition, the bill requires any formal presidential request to increase the debt limit to include (1) the amount of the proposed increase, and (2) proposed legislation to reduce spending by an amount that is equal to or greater than the amount of the requested increase. Finally, the bill establishes budget points of order that may be raised in the House of Representatives and the Senate against legislation that increases or suspends the debt limit and does not contain net spending reductions that are equal to or greater than the increase in the debt that will occur under the legislation.

HONOR Act

United States · United States Congress · 16 July 2026

Hindering Oppressive Nations from Obtaining Revenue Act or HONOR Act This bill prohibits a taxpayer from claiming the foreign tax credit (FTC) for taxes paid, accrued, or deemed paid to Russia. Under current law, a taxpayer may claim the FTC for income, war profits, and excess profits taxes (or taxes imposed in lieu of these taxes) paid, accrued, or deemed paid to a foreign country (and certain U.S. possessions), subject to limitations. However, under current law, a taxpayer may not claim the FTC for taxes paid to a foreign country if (1) the United States does not recognize the country’s government, (2) the United States severs or does not conduct diplomatic relations with the country, or (3) the country is designated by the Department of State as supporting international terrorist acts. (Currently, the FTC is disallowed for taxes paid, accrued, or deemed paid to Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.) Under the bill, a taxpayer may not claim the FTC for taxes paid, accrued, or deemed paid to Russia beginning 30 days after the date of enactment and until normal U.S. trade relations with Russia are restored (pursuant to requirements established by the Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act).

HIRE Act

United States · United States Congress · 6 October 2025

Halting International Relocation of Employment Act or the HIRE Act This bill imposes a 25% federal excise tax on and disallows tax deductions related to payments made to foreign persons for labor or services benefiting consumers in the United States (outsourcing payments). The bill also provides funding for workforce development initiatives. Specifically, the excise tax applies to outsourcing payments , which the bill defines as any premium, fee, royalty, service charge, or other payment made in the course of a trade or business, to a foreign person (excluding a corporation or partnership organized under the laws of the United States or a U.S. possession), and for labor or services which benefit (directly or indirectly) U.S. consumers. Further, a federal tax deduction is not allowed for outsourcing payments or the excise tax on such payments. Under the bill, the Internal Revenue Service may require persons to report information related to outsourcing payments. The bill imposes penalties for failing to report such information or pay the excise tax. The bill also establishes and provides funding for the Domestic Workforce Fund, which is to be used for workforce development and retraining programs, apprenticeship programs and partnerships with industry to expand domestic employment in sectors impacted by outsourcing, and  state grants for workforce development for communities with high levels of job displacement. The funding provided by the bill for the Domestic Workforce Fund is equivalent to the amounts received from the tax and penalties imposed by the bill.

Menstrual Equity For All Act of 2025 This bill expands access to menstrual products (e.g., tampons) in certain locations and for particular groups, such as in schools and for low-income individuals, through federal programs and requirements. It also prohibits state or local sales taxes for these products.  The bill expands access to menstrual products through federal programs by requiring Medicaid to cover such products, establishing grants within the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to provide benefits to ensure access to such products, authorizing the Emergency Food and Shelter Program to provide menstrual products to homeless individuals, and increasing Social Services Block Grant funding to provide such products to low-income individuals. Also, the bill sets out requirements to make free menstrual products available in federal and state correctional facilities (including Department of Homeland Security detention facilities) and restrooms in federal buildings that are open to the public. Further, the bill (1) establishes grants to provide free menstrual products to students at institutions of higher education, and (2) permits elementary and secondary schools to use certain grant funds to provide menstrual products to students. In addition, the bill requires employers with at least 100 employees to provide free menstrual products for employees.

United States · United States Congress · 7 April 2025

No Tax Breaks for Union Busting (NTBUB) Act This bill excludes from the tax deduction for ordinary and necessary business expenses amounts paid or incurred to influence employees with respect to labor organizations or labor organization activities.

(Some exceptions apply.)  The bill requires employers to file a return reporting certain information related to expenses paid to influence employees with respect to labor organizations and imposes a penalty for noncompliance. The amount of the penalty is the greater of (1) $10,000, or (2) $1,000 multiplied by the number full-time equivalent employees. Additional penalties apply for violations that continue for more than 90 days.  The bill also imposes information reporting requirements on persons conducting activities on behalf of another person to influence employees with respect to labor organizations.
