The Veteran Headstone Honor Act creates a new tax credit for private cemeteries that pay to attach veteran medallions to the headstones or markers of deceased veterans. Private cemeteries would be able to claim a tax credit equal to the full cost of attaching these medallions, which are official devices used to honor military service. The bill requires cemeteries to certify to the Internal Revenue Service that medallions have been attached and to provide itemized statements of expenses in order to claim the credit. The tax credit applies to expenses paid after the bill is enacted and would be administered by the IRS in consultation with the Department of Veterans Affairs. This legislation aims to reduce financial barriers for cemeteries seeking to provide this form of recognition for veteran grave sites.
