Allows gross income tax deduction for surviving spouses of certain veterans in New Jersey.
New Jersey S1890 amends the state's gross income tax law to provide a $3,000 deduction for surviving spouses of qualifying veterans. A "qualifying veteran" is defined as someone who died while on active duty, was honorably discharged, or was released under honorable circumstances. The deduction applies during the surviving spouse's widowhood or widowerhood, and ceases if the spouse remarries. This bill extends the existing exemption for veterans to their surviving spouses, recognizing the sacrifices made by these individuals.
