5320.04 Military Pay - Military pay is countable as earned income with the exception of most special allowances. Members of the military receive monthly allowances for housing, subsistence, and other reasons. Income from allowances is non-taxable, therefore exempt, with the exception of CONUS COLA which is a monthly Cost of Living Allowance for members stationed in the United States. The two most common allowances, Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) are exempt.
