What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Service Members Tax Relief Act," proposes changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It aims to exempt specific income earned by active or reserve members of the Uniformed Services of the United States from federal income tax. The exemption applies to compensation received in connection with service during the taxable year. However, the bill explicitly excludes pensions or retirement pay from this definition of compensation. These changes would take effect for income earned in taxable years beginning after the bill is enacted.
