Tax help for military filers
There is a federal exemption to income for military income earned if the taxpayer served in a combat zone.
Here are the requirements:
- You must be a member of the United States Armed Forces .
- Entitlement to the compensation must have fully accrued in a month during which the member served in a designated combat zone or was hospitalized as a result of wounds, disease, or injury incurred while serving in a designated combat zone.
There is no required action for you to receive the exclusion. Each military organization will automatically certify your entitlement by excluding reportable income on your W-2.
