The CREATE Act (H.R. 4840) is a lifeline for America’s entertainment industry, extending the vital Section 181 tax incentive through 2030 and expanding it to include sound recordings. This bipartisan legislation empowers filmmakers, musicians, and producers to keep jobs, dollars, and creative energy here at home rather than losing projects to overseas incentives. By raising deduction limits and indexing for inflation, the CREATE Act ensures that independent voices and union crews can thrive in every corner of the country, from Hollywood to Houston. Congress must act now to protect our cultural economy and preserve the stories that define us.

If you believe in protecting America’s creative economy, make your voice heard. Contact the following members of Congress and urge them to prioritize the CREATE Act:
