Intelligence community staff who move on orders keep the deduction
What the document says“An employee or new appointee of the intelligence community (as defined in section 3 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3003)) (other than a member of the Armed Forces of the United States) who moves pursuant to a change in assignment which requires relocation shall be treated for purposes of this section in the same manner as an individual to whom subsection (g) applies.”
The section adds a new paragraph (2) to section 217(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 treating an employee or new appointee of the intelligence community, as defined in section 3 of the National Security Act of 1947, other than a member of the Armed Forces, who moves because of a change in assignment requiring relocation, the same way as an individual covered by subsection (g).
What the document actually says“An employee or new appointee of the intelligence community (as defined in section 3 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3003)) (other than a member of the Armed Forces of the United States) who moves pursuant to a change in assignment which requires relocation shall be treated for purposes of this section in the same manner as an individual to whom subsection (g) applies.”
Staff of the intelligence community are treated apart. That covers new hires as well. They must be moving because their posting changed. Armed Forces members are not covered here.
They are put on the same footing as another group. That group is named in the tax code. What it gets is not recorded here.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
