KY says that Active Duty Military Pay is not taxable. When a reservist is attending week-end drill, is that Active Duty? They don't have orders but can use commissary, BX, etc. The 2-week Summer Camp is on orders. Deployment is on orders. W-2's don't break it down. Any ideas? They do have a ruling that ALL KY National Guard Pay is exempt.

You probably need to contact the KY state income tax authorities to find out how to treat this situation. (Do they still refer to that department as a Cabinet?")ChEAr$,

Yes, my clients are able to tell me this information. Ask to see their orders if they do not know, or have them go into their finance or personnel unit to ask them for you.MichaelComment

All military income is exempt from state tax by Kentucky to include Reservists. Look at the Kentucky code publication page 8. It states after Jan 1st 2010 all military pay received by members of the Armed Forces, Members of Reserve components, and National Guard is exempt from Kentucky state tax. So it really doesn't matter if they are active duty. It is all exempt.Comment
