Clear tax rules for uniformed retirees

Beginning January 1, 2026, Maine uses the federal definition of “uniformed services” to decide what counts as military retirement pay. If you get retirement pay from the active or reserve components of those uniformed services, it counts under Maine’s military retirement deduction rules. This aligns Maine with federal law and makes eligibility consistent. Before 2026, the prior Maine rules stay in place.
