Savings for Servicemembers Act
The Savings for Servicemembers Act (HR 5844) lowers the required travel distance for tax deductions for reserve component members of the Armed Forces. It changes the Internal Revenue Code to reduce the minimum distance from home (100 miles to 50 miles) for qualifying travel expenses related to military duties. This adjustment directly affects reserve service members who travel for training or duty, allowing them to deduct more travel costs. The change applies to tax returns filed for 2023 and later years.
