Sponsor tax reform that would allow for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens working abroad as contractors and/or U.S. Government civilians/employees supporting combat operations and/or deployed with the United States Armed Forces and/or United States Government Agencies to be inside the United States for more than 35 days in 12 consecutive months without facing tax penalties and being disqualified from the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.
