Military Taxes
Military pay carries real tax advantages. BAH and BAS are exempt from federal income tax, and pay earned in a designated combat zone is excluded entirely. One of the biggest moves: sign a reenlistment during a combat-zone month and the whole bonus — every installment — is federal-tax-free.
