Bill overview
This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to provide tax relief for members of the Armed Forces who are deployed overseas. Specifically, it expands the existing combat zone exclusion to include earnings from deployments outside the United States. The bill clarifies the definition of ‘overseas’ and ensures that service during permanent change of station periods doesn’t disqualify an individual from receiving this tax benefit. The changes will take effect starting January 1, 2026.
