Combat pay counts
Published March 27, 2008 by CSBJ Staff
The Internal Revenue Service will allow military personnel serving in combat zones to include nontaxable combat pay on 2007 or 2008 income tax returns if it helps eligibility for economic stimulus payments.
Combat zone personnel or spouses must file a 2007 income tax return by Oct. 15 in order to receive the economic stimulus payment this year, or they can claim the payment on next year’s income tax return.
