house 03/05/2025 - 119th Congress
We aim to support U.S. nationals who have been wrongfully detained or held hostage abroad by proposing legislation to postpone their tax deadlines and refund any late fees they paid during their detention. This ensures that individuals and their families are not penalized by the tax system while facing extraordinary circumstances beyond their control.
