I work for the Department of Defense. I was transferred to Bahrain in 3/2019. I am in the 'War Zone' or 'Hot Spot'. Do I pay federal income taxes for income from March through the end of the year?

If you served in a designated combat zone, your income is not taxable.

Please read this IRS document for more information.

I am not in the Armed Forces. I work for the Dept of Defense in the Combat Zone.

Unfortunately, at this point federal employees are not able to exclude pay earned while serving in a combat zone. Here is the list of eligible groups.
