The Capital Gains Inflation Relief Act of 2025 would allow individual taxpayers to adjust their capital gains for inflation when calculating taxes on asset sales. Specifically, when someone sells stocks, digital assets, real estate, or certain other investments they've held for more than three years, they could increase their original cost basis by the amount inflation has risen since purchase, thereby reducing their taxable gain. The bill applies to assets acquired after December 31, 2025, and uses the government's gross domestic product deflator to measure inflation adjustments. The provision includes special rules for investment funds, partnerships, and S corporations to ensure benefits flow through to individual investors rather than being double-counted at the corporate level. While the bill does not include direct federal spending or require new appropriations, it would reduce capital gains tax revenues by allowing taxpayers to exclude inflation-driven gains from taxation.
