The March 31 deadline passed without Congress repealing the 90% cap on gambling loss deductions under IRC Section 165(d), as amended by the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act, solidifying trader consensus at 100% "No." Bipartisan repeal bills, led by Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV), gained initial traction but stalled amid new opposition, procedural hurdles, and competing tax priorities in early 2026 sessions. The cap took effect January 1 for 2026 tax filings, creating "phantom income" for gamblers. While retroactive legislation remains theoretically possible via fast-tracked reconciliation or omnibus appropriations, slim majorities and lame-duck dynamics make shifts improbable absent a major scandal or lobbying surge.
