Catalog reconciledEnactedProgram created

Signed Takes effect

Expands benefits Subtracts Guard and reserve drill and training pay from Wisconsin taxable income.

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, subtracts basic pay received under 37 USC 204(a)(2) by a National Guard or reserve component member and inactive-duty training compensation under 37 USC 206 or 206a received by a reserve component member, to the extent not already subtracted. Enacted April 8, 2026. The act created it as Wis. Stat. 71.05(6)(b)57., a number already used for financial exploitation losses, and the published statutes print it as 57m. The Department of Revenue military FAQ still tells filers to leave inactive duty training pay out of the subtraction.
