To provide that members of the Armed Forces performing services in Kenya, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Chad shall be entitled to tax benefits in the same manner as if such services were performed in a combat zone.

Bill 119 HR 2157, also known as the "Armed Forces Tax Fairness Act," aims to provide tax benefits to members of the Armed Forces who are performing services in Kenya, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Chad. The bill proposes that these service members should be entitled to the same tax benefits as if they were serving in a combat zone.

The purpose of this legislation is to recognize the sacrifices and challenges faced by military personnel serving in these specific countries, where they may be exposed to dangerous and high-stress situations similar to those experienced in combat zones. By extending tax benefits to these service members, the bill seeks to provide them with additional financial support and recognition for their service.

If passed, the bill would ensure that members of the Armed Forces serving in Kenya, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Chad receive the same tax benefits as their counterparts serving in combat zones, helping to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with their service in these regions.
