- The credit is claimed in the year in which the most days were served or the year in which the 90th day was served (if same number of days served in two years).
- The credit applies for each year in which the servicemember qualifies for the credit.
- The credit cannot exceed the income tax liability or the premiums paid for qualified life insurance premiums. Qualified life insurance premiums are paid through the servicemember's group life insurance program through the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
