During this particular time
each year, many veterans and
their dependents and survivors
are uncertain as to whether
their Veterans Administration
benefit payments are subject to
the income tax laws. According
to Paul F. Bracks, Veterans
Service Officer for Winkler
County, the following
information should help each
person in filing an income tax
return for 1974.
In general, veterans benefits
are exempt from Federal
income tax, and need not be
reported as income. This
income tax exemption applies
to dividends and proceeds from
government life insurance
policies, but Federal estate tax
does apply in certain instances
to proceeds received in
settlement of such policies
following death of the insured.
Also, interest earned on
government life insurance
dividends left on deposit or
credit with the Veterans
Administration is considered
income and must be reported
on Federal income tax returns.
Among major tax exempt
Veterans Administration
benefits are disability and
death compensation and
pension. Also exempt are all ■
educational assistance benefits
paid to eligible veterans, their
dependents and their survivors.
All such amounts, since they
are not subject to tax, should
not be reported as income
when filing a tax return.
The income tax exemption
also applies to any amounts
which are paid to service
disabled veterans for specially
adapted homes and VA grants
for automobiles. Eligible for
these special grants are veterans
who, because of their military
service, have suffered loss or
loss of use of one or more
limbs, or blindness.
In Addition, the VA is
authorized to pay an annual
clothing allowance to veterans
whose service incurred
disabilities require them to use
wheel chairs, artificial limbs or
braces, or other devices which
tend to wear and tear clothing.
The clothing allowance paid by
the VA is not taxable and
should not be reported on any
income tax return.
