§ 692. Income taxes of members of Armed Forces,
astronauts, and victims of certain terrorist
attacks on death
(a) General rule
In the case of any individual who dies while in
active service as a member of the Armed Forces
of the United States, if such death occurred
while serving in a combat zone (as determined
under section 112) or as a result of wounds, dis-
ease, or injury incurred while so serving—
(1) any tax imposed by this subtitle shall not
apply with respect to the taxable year in
which falls the date of his death, or with re-
spect to any prior taxable year ending on or
after the first day he so served in a combat
zone; and
(2) any tax under this subtitle and under the
corresponding provisions of prior revenue laws
for taxable years preceding those specified in
paragraph (1) which is unpaid at the date of
his death (including interest, additions to the
tax, and additional amounts) shall not be as-
sessed, and if assessed the assessment shall be
abated, and if collected shall be credited or re-
funded as an overpayment.
(b) Individuals in missing status
For purposes of this section, in the case of an
individual who was in a missing status within
Page 1861
TITLE 26—INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
§ 692
the meaning of section 6013(f)(3)(A), the date of
his death shall be treated as being not earlier
than the date on which a determination of his
death is made under section 556 of title 37 of the
United States Code. Except in the case of the
combat zone designated for purposes of the Viet-
nam conflict, the preceding sentence shall not
cause subsection (a)(1) to apply for any taxable
year beginning more than 2 years after the date
designated under section 112 as the date of ter-
mination of combatant activities in a combat
zone.
(c) Certain military or civilian employees of the
United States dying as a result of injuries
(1) In general
In the case of any individual who dies while
a military or civilian employee of the United
States, if such death occurs as a result of
wounds or injury which was incurred while the
individual was a military or civilian employee
of the United States and which was incurred in
a terroristic or military action, any tax im-
posed by this subtitle shall not apply—
(A) with respect to the taxable year in
which falls the date of his death, and
(B) with respect to any prior taxable year
in the period beginning with the last taxable
year ending before the taxable year in which
the wounds or injury were incurred.
(2) Terroristic or military action
For purposes of paragraph (1), the term ‘‘ter-
roristic or military action’’ means—
(A) any terroristic activity which a pre-
ponderance of the evidence indicates was di-
rected against the United States or any of
its allies, and
(B) any military action involving the
Armed Forces of the United States and re-
sulting from violence or aggression against
the United States or any of its allies (or
threat thereof).
For purposes of the preceding sentence, the
term ‘‘military action’’ does not include train-
ing exercises.
(3) Treatment of multinational forces
For purposes of paragraph (2), any multi-
national force in which the United States is
participating shall be treated as an ally of the
United States.
(d) Individuals dying as a result of certain at-
tacks
(1) In general
In the case of a specified terrorist victim,
any tax imposed by this chapter shall not
apply—
(A) with respect to the taxable year in
which falls the date of death, and
(B) with respect to any prior taxable year
in the period beginning with the last taxable
year ending before the taxable year in which
the wounds, injury, or illness referred to in
paragraph (3) were incurred.
(2) $10,000 minimum benefit
If, but for this paragraph, the amount of tax
not imposed by paragraph (1) with respect to a
specified terrorist victim is less than $10,000,
then such victim shall be treated as having
made a payment against the tax imposed by
this chapter for such victim’s last taxable
year in an amount equal to the excess of
$10,000 over the amount of tax not so imposed.
(3) Taxation of certain benefits
Subject to such rules as the Secretary may
prescribe, paragraph (1) shall not apply to the
amount of any tax imposed by this chapter
which would be computed by only taking into
account the items of income, gain, or other
amounts attributable to—
(A) deferred compensation which would
have been payable after death if the indi-
vidual had died other than as a specified ter-
rorist victim, or
(B) amounts payable in the taxable year
which would not have been payable in such
taxable year but for an action taken after
September 11, 2001.
(4) Specified terrorist victim
For purposes of this subsection, the term
‘‘specified terrorist victim’’ means any dece-
dent—
(A) who dies as a result of wounds or in-
jury incurred as a result of the terrorist at-
tacks against the United States on April 19,
1995, or September 11, 2001, or
(B) who dies as a result of illness incurred
as a result of an attack involving anthrax
occurring on or after September 11, 2001, and
before January 1, 2002.
Such term shall not include any individual
identified by the Attorney General to have
been a participant or conspirator in any such
attack or a representative of such an indi-
vidual.
(5) Relief with respect to astronauts
The provisions of this subsection shall apply
to any astronaut whose death occurs in the
line of duty, except that paragraph (3)(B) shall
be applied by using the date of the death of
the astronaut rather than September 11, 2001.
