H.R. 6189 would exempt active and reserve military service members from federal income tax on their military compensation. The bill creates a new tax provision that excludes all wages and salary earned from military service from gross income, though it specifically excludes retirement pensions and retirement pay from this exemption. This tax relief would apply to service members in all branches of the Uniformed Services and would take effect for income earned in taxable years beginning after the bill becomes law. The legislation contains no specific funding provisions or appropriations, as it operates by reducing tax liability rather than spending federal dollars. The bill was introduced in November 2025 and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee for consideration.
