Latest Action · October 3, 2023
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
This bill would allow Members of Congress to exclude certain reimbursements from their taxable income. Specifically, it would exempt expense reimbursements paid from a member's Representational Allowance (MRA) for official congressional duties from federal income tax, effective retroactively from January 1, 2023. The bill affects all House members, including Delegates and Resident Commissioners, and applies only to reimbursements that follow the guidelines set by the House Committee on Administration. These excluded amounts would not count toward calculating any tax deductions, credits, or wage-related taxes that members might otherwise owe. The legislation was introduced in October 2023 but does not specify any particular funding amount or implementation timeline beyond the effective date.
