This bill would allow Kentucky residents to deduct theft losses from their state income taxes, following the same rules used for federal taxes under the Internal Revenue Code. Currently, such a deduction may not be available under state law, and this change would bring Kentucky's tax code in line with federal standards. Who it may affect: Kentucky taxpayers who have experienced theft and may be seeking to reduce their state income tax liability.
