To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to exclude military bonuses from gross income.

# HR 3515 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 3515 would change federal tax law to allow military service members to exclude bonuses from their taxable income. Currently, military bonuses—such as enlistment, reenlistment, or retention bonuses—are treated as regular income and subject to federal income tax. If passed, these bonuses would be excluded from gross income calculations, effectively making them tax-free for service members. **Who It Affects and Current Status** This bill would primarily benefit active-duty military personnel and service members who receive enlistment, reenlistment, or other military bonuses.

The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Rep. Jennifer Kiggans (R-VA).
