Service Years Crossover
Current law / CRSC
H.R. 9237 Section 101
Original Star Act
Important election point: CRSC and VA compensation are tax-free. Restored retired pay is taxable for many retirees, but some Chapter 61 disability retirees have fully tax-excluded retired pay under 26 U.S.C. 104 for combat-related disability retired pay. DoD FMR Vol. 7B, Ch. 24 points back to the service determination at discharge for that tax treatment. Use the tax-free checkbox only if your retired-pay profile is coded that way; partial exclusions are outside this simple model.
