The No Taxes on Utility Bills Act would allow taxpayers to deduct taxes and state-mandated surcharges that appear on their gas and electric utility bills from their federal income taxes. Currently, most utility taxes and surcharges are not deductible, so this change would provide tax relief to households and businesses that pay these charges. The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to add this new deduction category and would take effect for tax years beginning after the bill is enacted. There is no specific funding amount mentioned in the legislation, as it operates through the tax code rather than appropriating money. The bill was introduced in April 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
