Combat-Injured Veteran Tax Relief

Our veterans are an integral part of society and deserve to be represented fairly and respectfully within the tax code for their service to our country. The Combat-Injured Veterans Tax Fairness Act is intended to provide tax relief to veterans through a refund of taxes paid on disability severance payments.

Military service members eligible for the tax refund under the Combat-Injured Veterans Tax Fairness Act include any veteran who discontinued military service after January 17, 1991 and received a one-time disability severance payment, which, at the time, was included as income on their tax return. I support this tax refund for military service members as it provides well-deserved tax relief to soldiers who have served our country and its people.

To see if you or a loved one is eligible for this return, please visit https://www.dfas.mil/dsp_irs.html or IRS.gov for more information.

Local Business Updates

This week, I visited with the local Chamber of Commerce from two of the largest cities in the sixth district, Oshkosh and Manitowoc. I gave an update on the work we are doing in Washington, and we discussed ways public servants, like me, can help government get out of the way of small businesses in order to let local economies thrive.
