What this bill would do
The All-Americans Tax Relief Act of 2025 proposes several changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The bill also introduces various new deductions, including medical expenses, daycare, commuting, tutoring, credit card interest, and rent. Additionally, it modifies the treatment of discharged indebtedness. Finally, the bill proposes increasing the capital gains rate from 20 percent to 25 percent.
