What this bill would do

This bill, titled the ``Heroes' Tax Exemption Act of 2025'', proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary goal is to exempt servicemembers from the income tax. It specifically states that gross income shall not include any amount earned by an active duty member of the Armed Forces. The changes would be implemented by inserting a new section, 139J, into the existing code.
