Survivor Justice Tax Prevention Act

What this bill does

  • Sexual assault and harassment settlement damages are excluded from taxable income, even without physical injuries.
  • Survivors of sexual abuse who receive court judgments, awards, or settlements are affected.
  • The IRS must prove damages are not sex-related to tax them; the agency must publicize this tax exclusion.

  1. 01

    How would excluding all sexual assault settlement damages from taxable income affect federal tax revenue and IRS enforcement resources?

  2. 02

    What evidence suggests survivors currently face tax burdens on settlements, and how might this bill change their financial recovery?

  3. 03

    Should the IRS burden of proof shift to require the agency to prove damages are unrelated to abuse rather than survivors proving they are?
