Remotely Piloted Aircraft Crews Tax Relief Act

This bill would change federal tax law so that certain military members who operate remotely piloted aircraft (drones) flying in a combat zone could exclude that pay from their taxable income, the same way pay for serving in a combat zone is excluded now. It would also cover members who provide intelligence, targeting, or command and control that the Secretary of Defense certifies is in direct support of those aircraft operations. The change would apply to pay received in tax years ending after the bill becomes law, for active service after that date.
