‡Most states determine


your income subject to taxation based on your federal tax return. Re- tirees who entered the military before Sept. 24, 1975, and members receiving disability retire- ment based on combat injuries or who could re- ceive disability payments from the VA are covered by laws giving disability broad exemption from federal income tax. Most military retired pay based on service-related dis- abilities also is free from federal income tax, but there is no guarantee of total protection.
