## Summary

**Excludes certain military enlistment and retention bonuses from taxable income.** The No Tax on Bonuses Act of 2025 would create a new exclusion for “qualified bonuses” paid by the Secretary concerned to members of the Armed Forces for enlistment, accession, reenlistment, retention, commissioning, or entering a reserve affiliation agreement. The bill adds a new subsection to section 112 of the Internal Revenue Code and makes conforming edits to sections 3401, 2201, and the Part III table so these bonuses are treated as non‑taxable for taxable years beginning after enactment.
