No Tax on Drill Pay Act
Military Pay: Tax Exemption for National Guard and Reserve Drill Pay
This bill was recently introduced and is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Ways and Means. It is in the early stages of the legislative process and is actively moving forward. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
While tax cuts for the military are popular, most individual tax bills do not pass on their own and must be added to much larger spending packages to succeed.
Key Points
- This bill would stop the federal government from taxing the money National Guard and Reserve members earn during their monthly training weekends, which is commonly known as drill pay.
- Currently, this pay is treated as regular income and is subject to federal income taxes. This change would reclassify that money as a tax-free military benefit.
- The plan aims to help the military find and keep service members by increasing the take-home pay for part-time soldiers who often balance military duties with full-time civilian jobs.
- If this bill becomes law, the tax exemption would apply to all training pay received after the date the law is signed.
