Makes broad changes to individual income tax rules starting in tax year 2027: excludes forgiven debt from individual taxable income, raises the top capital gains rate to 25%, expands and indexes the Earned Income Tax Credit, creates a new Child Tax Credit, and creates multiple new tax deductions (medical expenses for non-itemizers, daycare, public‑transit commuting, tutoring, credit‑card interest, and a rent deduction with an income phaseout). Many changes require IRS rulemaking and take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026.
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
