Human Trafficking Survivor Tax Relief Act

This bill would change federal tax law so that money awarded to victims of human trafficking is not counted as taxable income. It covers restitution ordered by a court in a criminal trafficking case under section 1593 of title 18 of the U.S. Code. It also covers civil damages and other money awarded in lawsuits brought under section 1595 of title 18. The change would apply to tax years beginning after the bill becomes law.
