To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to exclude from gross income the earnings from certain overseas deployments of members of the Armed Forces.

# HR 6970 Summary **What It Would Do:** This bill would allow members of the U.S. Armed Forces to exclude certain income earned during overseas deployments from their taxable income. In simpler terms, military personnel deployed abroad would not have to pay federal income tax on earnings from those deployments, reducing their tax burden during active service overseas. **Who It Affects:** The bill directly benefits active-duty military members stationed or deployed outside the United States.

Currently, some military income earned abroad may already qualify for tax exclusions under existing law, but this bill would expand or clarify those protections for "certain" deployments (specific details would depend on the bill's full language). **Current Status:** HR 6970 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL). No further action has been taken as of the last update available.
