What SB 1407 does, verified August 15, 2026

The bill aims to amend the personal income tax law to exclude certain types of income from gross income. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and before January 1, 2030, it excludes up to $20,000 of retirement pay received from the federal government for service performed in the uniformed services, and up to $20,000 of income annuity payments received from a Department of Defense survivor benefit plan. The bill also eliminates income limitations for taxpayers and the $20,000 limitation on income eligible for exclusion. The exemption is extended until taxable years beginning before January 1, 2037. The bill takes effect immediately as a tax levy.
