J1 attack. When does the US get their extra 40 IPC's?

[Commando Brado]

If Japan declares war on the US on Turn 1, when does the US get the extra 40 IPC’s? At the beginning of the US turn or during the Collect Income phase?

It’s a national objective, so during the collect income phase.

I thought the rulebook says that this bonus takes effect the first turn the USA is at War with Japan, meaning on USA1 if they are at war they would have 57IPC not 17IPC.

Yes, during the collect income phase meaning it is not available to spend until turn two.
