What it does
HR.6970 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to exclude from gross income the earnings of certain members of the Armed Forces who serve overseas, expanding the existing combat zone tax exclusion to include qualifying overseas deployments. The bill applies to both enlisted personnel and commissioned officers, defining "overseas" as any area outside the United States and its territories, but excludes service under permanent change of station orders. The changes would take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
