Bill > HR2572

This bill, the Wounded Warrior Tax Equity Act of 2015, amends the Internal Revenue Code, which is the body of federal laws concerning taxation in the United States. Specifically, it aims to prevent the tax collection period from being extended for members of the Armed Forces who are hospitalized due to combat zone injuries. Currently, certain periods of hospitalization for combat zone injuries, and the 180 days following such hospitalization, can pause the timeline for tax collection after a tax has been assessed. This bill clarifies that this pause, or suspension, will no longer apply in such situations, ensuring that tax collection can proceed as scheduled even when a service member is recovering from combat-related injuries.
