Show full summary
- Businesses: Would change how the Section 163(j) interest limitation is calculated, potentially altering how much interest companies can deduct, especially for firms with large interest expenses.
- Tax preparers and accountants: Would require returns for tax years starting after Dec. 31, 2025 to use the restored definition, so tax calculations and planning practices would need to adjust.

Larger interest deductions for businesses
This bill would repeal a recent change to the definition of "adjusted taxable income" used to limit business interest deductions under section 163(j). If enacted, this would restore the prior definition and would let businesses subject to that limit deduct more interest than under the modification made by P.L. 119-21. The change would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025. The biggest effects would fall on businesses, investors, and owners whose interest deductions are limited by section 163(j).
