HB 2840 creates a $1,500 annual income tax credit for Oklahoma National Guard members who live more than 50 miles from their assigned home station. The credit applies to taxable years starting January 1, 2026, and cannot reduce tax liability below zero. Unused portions of the credit may be carried forward for up to five years. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, directly benefiting eligible National Guard members facing commuting costs.
