Here is an article explaining some of what went on then...

I also recall that Army later told anyone that claimed the purchased equipment as an expense, had to turn it in to the Army. Since the Army reimbursed the individual soldier, it became Army property.
I know some men claimed the item(s) on their IRS forms, as they also had small businesses and ran the stuff through that way. With the recent (last few years) enhancement of IRS filing and Obamacare cross referencing, I wonder how many Vets will have their claim adjusted by the IRS?
Then again, the Soldier may have claimed the items previously and the IRS caught his error. |
This is a valid point and what did happen up until about 05/06 timeframe.
