Bill > H2443

This bill aims to provide tax processing and filing assistance for certain disabled veterans by amending existing law and establishing a new program. Specifically, it proposes to waive interest and penalties on taxes for veterans of the United States Armed Forces who have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by the Veterans Administration, provided their tax delinquency is a direct result of the disorder's effects. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the department of revenue (the state's tax agency) create a program to offer assistance to these veterans, which will include training and guidance on basic tax information and how to contact the department for help, as well as providing resources within its Taxpayer Assistance Division to aid qualified veterans in preparing their tax returns.
