The tax code shouldn’t be stuck in 1978. For nearly 50 years, Americans have been limited to deducting just $3,000 in net capital losses against ordinary income. My Capital Loss Inflation Fairness Act raises that limit to $14,250 and indexes it to inflation going forward. Common sense WIN for the taxpayer.

WASHINGTON — Congressman Ralph Norman (R-SC) reintroduced the Capital Loss Inflation Fairness Act to address a nearly five-decade-old provision of the federal tax code and allow Americans to deduct more of their investment losses from their ordinary income. The current limit of $3,000, or $1,500 for married taxpayers filing separately, has remained unchanged since 1978. Norman’s legislation would increase those limits to $14,250 and $7,125, respectively. Additionally, the bill includes an annual adjustment for inflation. Under current law, losses exceeding the annual limit generally must be carried forward to future tax years. The legislation would allow individual taxpayers to recognize more of those losses sooner and would apply to losses in tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. “The $3,000 capital loss deduction hasn’t changed since 1978, and everyday Americans shouldn’t be penalized because Congress failed to update an outdated number,” said Congressman Norman. “It’s common sense. Raise the limit to reflect today’s dollars, tie it to inflation, and let Americans keep more of their hard-earned money.” “Inflation shouldn’t be a backdoor tax increase,” said Congressman Thomas Massie (KY-4). “Congress set the capital loss deduction at $3,000 in 1978 and then let inflation erode its value for nearly fifty years. This bill offers some relief and course correction for taxpayers in an increasingly volatile economy.” “Republicans are reversing years of Democrats’ big government tax burdens to ensure hardworking Americans can keep more of their money each year, and this legislation does just that,” said Congresswoman Sheri Biggs (SC-3). “I am proud to support this bill because it gives our constituents more breathing room when they take risks, invest, and contribute to our economy. As the cost of living increases, so should the amount you can deduct when you experience a loss. Americans should be able to keep more of their own money. It’s that simple.” “The $3,000 capital loss deduction limit has been stuck in the tax code since 1978, even as the value of the dollar has declined dramatically due to inflation. Thankfully, Congressman Norman’s commonsense reform would provide taxpayers and investors with a fairer and more neutral tax treatment of capital gains and losses. NTU is proud to once again endorse the Capital Loss Inflation Fairness Act and looks forward to helping this important legislation reach the president’s desk,” Thomas Aiello, Vice President of Federal Affairs at National Taxpayers Union. “The current federal tax code discourages families from saving, leaving them less secure and starving businesses of the capital needed to grow. The Capital Loss Inflation Fairness Act would correct our tax code's uneven treatment of capital gains and losses and strengthen the bottom line for families and businesses alike,” Patrick Fleenor, Tax Policy Fellow with Americans for Prosperity. The Capital Loss Inflation Fairness Act is originally cosponsored by Reps. Michael Cloud (TX-27), Thomas Massie (KY-4), Sheri Biggs (SC-3), and Andy Harris (MD-1). The bill is supported by the National Taxpayers Union and Americans for Prosperity.

The Senate is spending its FINAL WEEK in session before the midterms focused on college football while the SAVE America Act sits on the sidelines. Election integrity isn’t a game. Noncitizen voting threatens American elections. https://t.co/uhRnuwcvEs

South Carolina is growing fast, but our infrastructure is NOT keeping up. Responsible growth is a GOOD thing for our state, but it must be matched with better roads, reliable water systems, and critical infrastructure our communities can depend on. We need a PLAN to invest wisely and prepare for our state's future!! https://t.co/CALw7gqHYF
Washington is grinding to a halt and the Senate is sitting on its hands. The American people didn’t send us here to collect a paycheck and make excuses. They sent us here to DELIVER.
Proud to receive the highest rating from @NSSF for my record defending our 2nd Amendment!! The Constitution could not be clearer: the right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT be infringed.

WASHINGTON — Congressman Ralph Norman (R-SC) issued the following statement following the announcement that 228 grants totaling more than $167 million will be awarded to strengthen healthcare in rural communities across South Carolina. The funding is being awarded through the Rural Health Transformation Program, authorized by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Section 71401 of Public Law 119-21), and is intended to support high-impact investments that strengthen healthcare infrastructure and expand long-term capacity in rural communities. “Nearly 20% of South Carolinians live in rural communities, and they should not have to drive hours just to receive quality health care,” said Congressman Norman. “These resources can make a real difference by strengthening local providers and expanding access to critical services. Every taxpayer dollar should be spent wisely and deliver results, and I look forward to seeing these funds put to work improving healthcare for South Carolinians.” WATCH: Congressman Norman and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz Discuss Rural Health Investment in South Carolina The Rural Health Transformation Program is a $50 billion federal initiative administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to strengthen and modernize rural healthcare nationwide.
America’s truck drivers keep our country moving. From stocking our shelves to supplying our businesses, millions of hardworking men and women get behind the wheel every day to deliver for the American people. During National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we say THANK YOU to our nation’s truckers!
Canceling yet another day of votes is unacceptable. The House has now canceled at least 63 scheduled voting days this Congress, including nine days this month alone, and now we're leaving Washington until after the election. The Founders did not envision taking this much time off and still getting paid. If Members of Congress want to go home and campaign instead of doing the job taxpayers sent us here to do, then their campaigns ought to be paying them, NOT the American taxpayer. We still have work to do.
Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act last year. Now it’s time to make sure the law is FOLLOWED. I’m supporting @RepThomasMassie’s Epstein Files Transparency Act II to enforce compliance and hold the DOJ accountable to the law. After more than 20 years, the American people deserve the truth.
An ideology bent on destroying America will never assimilate into it. Sharia Law has no place in America.
Proof of the madness, folks. When will the Senate PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT? https://t.co/FLCZEO0HDH

I have serious concerns with this $5,000-check proposal. We are already more than $40 trillion in debt, and I cannot support another massive spending package without a clear way to pay for it. Tying government checks to the outcome of an election starts to sound like pay-to-play politics. Republicans should earn the support of the American people through good policy, not by promising another round of checks from Washington. Meanwhile, the Senate has hundreds of House-passed bills waiting for action. Congress should be focused on getting that work done and putting our country on stronger financial footing. Show me how this is paid for without adding to the debt. Until then, I cannot support it.
Exactly one year ago, America witnessed a moment that changed our culture forever. Political disagreement should never become political violence. Our differences are what make us HUMAN. They should be respected, not weaponized. For Charlie, may we never stop standing boldly for what we believe.
