On Aug. 17, 2006, President Bush signed into law the Pension Protection Act of 2006.  The act provides a tax benefit to reservists, strengthens pension funds, and provides important tax law changes.

The act creates an exception for reservists called to active-duty service — for more than 180 days or an indefinite period between Sept. 11, 2001 and Dec. 31, 2007 — to make early withdrawals (prior to age 59 ½) from certain retirement plans without triggering the 10-percent penalty tax imposed on such withdrawals under IRS Code Sec. 72(t).  The withdrawal exception specifically applies to Individual Retirement Accounts (regular and Roth), 401(k) plans, and 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities.  It is important to recognize that the withdrawals will constitute taxable income to the account owner.

If you're in our armed forces, the Internal Revenue Service is your friend -- especially for those in combat.  If you or your family were involved in the Iraq war, here’s what you should know.  By Jeff Schnepper

Even the feared forces of the Internal Revenue Service stand in shock and awe before our military forces.  Congress has shown its respect and appreciation for the troops by providing lots of special tax breaks for military families.
