Exemptions for Servicemen Under 1943 Federal Tax Plan
Soldiers at Sheppard Field learn federal tax rules under the new act. If military pay plus the $1200 personal exemption stays at or below 2700 for married men or 2000 for single men, no federal income tax is due in 1943. Base, flying, overseas and longevity pay count as army income, affecting the exemption. The $1500 additional exemption for service members cannot be used against civilian income.
