AI Summary
This bill aims to provide tax processing and filing assistance for certain disabled veterans in Massachusetts. It does this in two key ways:
1) It amends the state's tax laws to waive interest and penalties for veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and whose tax delinquency directly resulted from the effects of this disorder.
2) It requires the state's Department of Revenue to implement a program that provides training and assistance to veterans with PTSD on basic tax information and how to contact the department for help, as well as resources within the Taxpayer Assistance Division to help qualified veterans prepare their tax returns.
The overall goal is to support disabled veterans who may face challenges in meeting their tax obligations due to the impacts of PTSD.
