Extends veteran's gross income tax exemption to spouses of deceased veterans.
This bill extends the veteran's gross income tax exemption to spouses of deceased veterans. Currently, if a veteran dies during a taxable year, the spouse is allowed the exemption for that taxable year if filing a joint return. However, the spouse is not allowed the exemption in subsequent years. Under this bill, the spouse of the deceased veteran would be allowed to continue to claim the exemption until the spouse remarries. The exemption is limited to the percentage of the taxable year the spouse was married to the veteran.
