Introduced

Summary

Makes Olympic and Paralympic medals and prize money fully tax-exempt by removing the income cap on the existing exclusion. This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code so the value of any medal awarded for competition in the Olympic Games or Paralympic Games and any prize money received from the United States Olympic Committee are not included in gross income. The change would apply to prizes and awards received after December 31, 2025, lowering the taxable income athletes must report for those awards.

Tax-free Olympic and Paralympic Prizes

If enacted, you would not pay federal income tax on the value of any medal you win at the Olympic Games or Paralympic Games. If enacted, prize money you receive from the United States Olympic Committee for such competition would also be excluded from your taxable income. This removes the prior income limit on that exclusion. The rule would apply to medals and prize money received after December 31, 2025.
