The section strikes December 31, 2018 and inserts December 31, 2025 in the matter preceding clause (i) of section 461(l)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and strikes 2017 and inserts 2024 in clause (ii). The permanence change applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026 and this change to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.

That sentence, in plain words

One date is taken out of a tax rule. It was December 31, 2018. The new date is December 31, 2025.

What this is about

A second base year moves from 2017 to 2024. Both feed an inflation sum. That resets how the threshold grows.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
