No federal tax on payments for human trafficking victims.
This bill stops federal income tax on money human trafficking victims get from court orders or lawsuits. Right now, these payments can be taxed. This change would let victims keep all their compensation.
Today, money received by human trafficking survivors as restitution or civil damages for their suffering is generally considered taxable income by the federal government. If this bill becomes law, these specific payments would no longer be counted as income for federal tax purposes, meaning survivors would not owe federal taxes on them.
