This change allows military personnel to keep the full amount of these bonuses without paying income tax on them, increasing their take-home pay.
Key points

This change increases the actual take-home pay service members receive from these specific bonuses by eliminating the tax burden.
The new tax rules apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024.
