HD 4016 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to National Guard state tax exemption

This bill creates a state tax exemption for Massachusetts National Guard members. Starting January 1, 2027, eligible members can exclude 100% of specific military-related income from their state taxable income. The exemption covers income earned while: attending drills or training (32 U.S.C. duty status), working as a federal dual-status technician with the Guard, or serving in state active duty. It directly affects Massachusetts National Guard members whose income falls under these three categories. The policy change removes state tax liability on this specific income, effective for taxable years beginning in 2027.
