VETT Act
This bill, the VETT Act (VSO Equal Tax Treatment Act), amends the tax code to allow military members to deduct charitable contributions made to certain federally chartered veterans service organizations (VSOs). Specifically, it adds these organizations - described under Section 501(c)(19) and federally chartered - to the list of eligible recipients for tax-deductible contributions under Internal Revenue Code sections 170(c)(5) and 170(b)(1)(A). The change directly affects active-duty and veteran military members who contribute to qualifying VSOs, enabling them to claim these donations as tax deductions. The policy change takes effect for taxable years beginning after the bill's enactment date.
