Show full summary
- Donors and businesses could treat gifts of qualified food storage equipment, food transportation vehicles, meal transport gear, and meal preparation and packing equipment like food inventory for deduction purposes. The writeoff has limits: a reduction capped at 25% of fair market value for some items, and annual caps of $500 for meal transport equipment and $15,000 for meal preparation and packing equipment.
- Food banks and community meal programs would be clear eligible recipients if their primary mission is serving people in need, making it easier for them to receive usable equipment for storage, delivery, and meal production.
- The law would add specific definitions for five equipment categories and create an exception to an existing deduction rule. The change would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
