Proposal Statement
Change Section 62(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by striking “100 miles” and inserting “50 miles” to decrease the distance away from home required for a member of a reserve component of the Armed Forces to be eligible for the above-the-line deduction for travel expenses.
Recommendation Information
Why do we need this legislation? This legislation is important for members of the National Guard because:
Reservists who travel more than 50 miles or more for drill will often incur additional expenses for lodging, meals, and incidentals. Under current legislation, only those who travel 100 or more miles can claim an income deduction for travel expenses. A reduction to 50 miles from home of record to drilling location is more reasonable standard for allowing the income tax deduction.
2019 legislation for this issue is S. 873.
