The Home Depot is offering tax-free shopping on more home improvement products to more military families in the U.S.

The retailer is now offering most homedepot.com online items as tax free with a 10% discount to military shoppers, according to a press release.

The tax-free and discount are an expansion of The Home Depot's partnerships with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and the Navy Exchange Service Command.

All active-duty service members, dependents, retirees, National Guard members, Reservists, Coast Guard members and honorably discharged veterans and their dependents who have confirmed eligibility at ShopMyExchange.com or myNavyExchange.com can make tax-free online purchases from military exchanges through this program.

"The Home Depot has been a longtime supporter of veteran causes, giving back through career opportunities, professional trades training, community investments, and accessible housing initiatives," Jordan Broggi, executive vice president of customer experience and president – online, said in the release. "Offering the military community greater benefits is one additional way we can support military members and their families after they've given us so much."

"This is a major quality-of-life enhancement for our Nation's Soldiers, Airmen, Guardians and their families," Exchange Director and CEO Tom Shull said in the release. "Offering an expanded assortment of discounted products from The Home Depot is a force multiplier for our heroes who have earned tax-free savings and military-exclusive pricing for life using their ShopMyExchange.com benefit."

At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the company operated a total of 2,347 retail stores and over 780 branches across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico.
