DoD Provides Free Tax Filing
Military OneSource now offers the TaxCut Basic Online® Program by H&R Block – free to active duty, Guard, and Reserve servicemembers and their families. Servicemembers and their families can get a jumpstart preparing and filing their federal and state 2006 income taxes with this easy-to-use program.
Last year, in a similar program, more than 327,000 claims were filed. The program is simple to use and allows for easy transfer of 2005 tax information. Military OneSource tax consultants are available 24/7 by phone at 1-800-730-3802 and by e-mail at TaxCut@militaryonesource.com to help with personal tax-related questions and financial planning. The site also offers responses to frequently asked questions and specialized guidance for those families whose servicemember is deployed.
Those who used TurboTax® online through Military OneSource last year to prepare and file their 2005 taxes can access those records on-line in the column “Working on My Return.” They can also request a free transcript of their 2005 tax return from the IRS. Because of privacy reasons, these records were not maintained by Military OneSource.
Military OneSource consultants provide expert advice on planning, issues specific to servicemembers and families, as well as sound ways to use the refund.
