Pennsylvania’s Tax Reform Code provides that active duty service members who are residents of the state are exempt from paying taxes on income earned for their military service while on active duty either inside of outside of Pennsylvania. However, these exemptions do not apply to non-military spouses who reside with active duty service members when they are deployed outside of the state. Non-military spouses often face various hardships while supporting the needs of their active military duty spouse, yet they are not supported under the same laws.
 
To further provide for our military families, I am introducing two pieces of legislation. The first bill would exempt non-military spouses from local income taxes, while the second bill (this legislation) would exempt them from state income taxes. 
 
Please join me in cosponsoring legislation to honor our active duty military service members and their spouses for the sacrifices they make in service to our nation.
