Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to clarify the definition of a disabled veteran taxpayer.
AI Summary
This bill updates the definition of a "disabled veteran taxpayer" to include individuals who have been rated as having a 90% or greater service-connected disability by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, or who meet the eligibility requirements for individual unemployability due to a service-related injury suffered since September 11, 2001, as determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs. This change broadens the criteria for qualifying as a disabled veteran taxpayer, potentially impacting eligibility for certain tax benefits or credits.
