Bipartisan Coalition Introduces Tax Relief Bill for Hurricane Sandy Victims

A bipartisan group of House members from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut recently introduced legislation to provide temporary tax relief for victims of Hurricane Sandy. The Hurricane Sandy Tax Relief Act of 2013 (H.R. 2137), modeled after a similar bill passed into law in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, is aimed at providing tax relief for victims of Hurricane Sandy in areas designated as Federal Disaster Areas by the president.
