Veterans Savings From New Tax Law Hit New Mexico
A 1957 law rewrites the $2,000 veteran tax exemption and takes effect January 1, 1959. The State Veterans' Services Commission certifies eligibility with county clerks and officers aiding. $20,000 was allocated to start the program. Eligible are honorably discharged veterans with 90 days service during any war, plus unmarried widows. WWII veterans must meet residency dates, and service-connected discharges waive the 90-day rule.
