All of the service pay or allowance received by an active duty member of the armed services is exempt from Arkansas income tax. The exemption is no longer limited to $9,000.

Consequently, there is no military income to be entered in column A, B, or C on line 9. Those three fields are disabled accordingly.

Military pay

U.S. Military compensation includes wages received by members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserve Units.
