Income tax break proposed for AGRs

Minnesota law currently provides income tax breaks for members of the Minnesota National Guard and other U.S. military reserves, but not for those who serve on Active Guard and Reserve status.

HF727, sponsored by Rep. Kory Kath (DFL-Owatonna), would grant soldiers and airmen with AGR status the same tax benefits as their counterparts in the guard or reserves. AGR personnel provide support services to the National Guard and Reserve organizations.

The House Veterans Services Division approved the bill March 7 and referred it to the House Taxes Committee. The fiscal impact has not been determined, but is anticipated when the bill reaches the tax committee.

Sen. Katie Sieben (DFL-Newport) sponsors a companion bill, SF392, which awaits action by the Senate Taxes Committee.
