Eliminate the 10% reduction in foreign tax credits for NCTI, allow NCTI losses to be carried forward for up to five years and allow those foreign tax credits to be carried forward and back like other business credits. The bill also reduces the number of foreign tax credit categories from four to two and gives the Treasury Department more flexibility on foreign tax redeterminations.
Support legislation to revise NCTI rules by eliminating the 10% foreign tax credit reduction, allowing NCTI loss carryforwards, allowing foreign tax credit carryforwards and carrybacks, reducing foreign tax credit categories, and giving Treasury more flexibility on redeterminations.

Assessments
The commitment is framed as supporting legislation to revise NCTI and foreign tax credit rules, not as enacting those tax changes into law. Verified evidence shows Rep. Ron Estes introduced the U.S. Innovation and Global Competitiveness Act of 2026, and GovInfo confirms the bill was introduced by Estes and referred to Ways and Means. Introducing the bill is a material candidate action that fulfills the support-legislation promise in the same term, though it would not prove enactment of the underlying policy outcome.
