Question

As a JROTC Instructor, my pay is based on active duty military pay for my current rank, including Basic Allowance for Housing. Is the BAH taxable?

No, BAH and BAS is never taxable income.

I don't think it's that simple. I am retired from the army and working as a JTROC instructor. BAH is not separated out in my paycheck... so my full compensation, including BAH, is listed in box 1 on my W2. My total compensation is based on an amount that includes BAH, but since I am no longer active duty I am unsure if its taxable. And if it is not, how do I deduct that?
