H.R. 6190 would exclude all military retirement pay and related benefits from federal income taxes for members and former members of the Armed Forces. Currently, military retirees must pay federal income tax on their retirement benefits, but this bill would make those payments entirely tax-free going forward. The legislation also extends similar tax treatment to disability and death compensation paid under federal law to service members and veterans. The changes would take effect for tax years beginning after the bill is enacted, meaning military retirees would start seeing tax benefits on their next filing after passage. The bill was introduced by Representatives Hamadeh, Moore, Levin, and Massie and was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means, which handles tax legislation.
