Congress to Extend $8000 Tax Credit for Military Personnel

Congress to Extend $8000 Tax Credit for Military Personnel


As a Veteran and a Realtor, it makes me proud to see our government adjusting the Tax
Credit for our military members who have been outside of the US for at least 90 days over
the past year. We often have such a bond with the those who are serving or who have
served, because we understand the hard work and dedication it takes to protect our country.

Our Military personnel, under both the House and Senate versions of the bill, members of the armed services, U.S. Foreign Service or intelligence agencies would need to show they worked outside the country for at least 90 days in the past year. The tax credit would be extended for one year, until Nov. 30, 2010. The House passed the bill 416 - 0.

If you serve in an area that has a heavy military influence or if you serve in an area that has a few Veterans are returning. Education is the key, lets make sure all the men and women serving are informed and afforded the opportunity to get the Tax Credit.
