Waitng until April 15th (actually April 18th this year) is not recommended when it comes to preparing your tax return. If you are a military member, there are some good options below to consider this year.
Military OneSource is offering FREE tax filing. While it is an H&R Block program, you must file through Military OneSource to get the FREE service by selecting Tax Filing Services. According to Military OneSource, the program is open to active-duty, Guard and Reserve servicemembers, regardless of activation status, as well as spouses, dependent children and family members standing in for a deployed servicemember. Participants can e-file up to three state resident returns for each federal return. For tax assistance, filers can call a Military OneSource tax consultant from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. EST, seven-days-a-week, at 1-800-730-3802 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-730-3802 end_of_the_skype_highlighting.
The IRS for Armed Forces Service Members also has tax information for military members. If you are deployed or are serving in a combat zone, there are special considerations when filing your taxes.
One very helpful web site is the military.com/Finance/Taxes .
Please consult your tax or personal finance advisor for more information.
