No but you can take terminal leave instead of cashing out your saved leave. I highly suggest terminal leave because you keep your benefits including bas and bah. If you sell it you lose your benefits and get taxed at the highest rate "like a bonus".

SSG is correct. It is much more advisable to accrue leave prior, then execute that leave as terminal leave between signing out of the unit and your ETS date. The tax rate is 25% and the remaining amount paid to you is considered income. If your bracket is lower than 25%, you should be entitled to tax return/credit but you have to understand that this additional income may place you/family into a higher tax bracket. I've always encouraged my Joes over the years to go with the terminal leave option as its 1. a larger benefit financially that includes tax free monies and 2. if you ever decide to go Guard or Reserves, each day is a retirement point and one 60 day period of leave is equivalent to just short of a year in the RC for retirement. (48pts UTA 15 days AT = 63pts) Don't ever shut a potential door you don't have to.
