*Military members and their families can get free tax help*
Military personnel who want to file free federal tax returns have several options, including the Department of Defense's MilTax [ [link removed] ] and the IRS Free File program. These programs offer online tax preparation, electronic filing and direct deposit of refunds at no cost.
*MilTax*
The Department of Defense provides MilTax [ [link removed] ] as a free tax resource for the military community. MilTax is a suite of tax services available for members of the military, as well as qualifying veterans and family members. There are no income limits.
MilTax is designed exclusively for the military community. The software was developed specifically to address the unique circumstances of military life that can affect taxes such as combat pay and dealing with multiple moves within the same tax year. Eligible taxpayers can use MilTax to complete and electronically file a federal tax return and up to three state returns for free.
*IRS Free File*
Taxpayers, including active-duty military, with an adjusted gross income (AGI) [ [link removed] ] of $79,000 or less in 2023 can find an offer from an IRS Free File provider that matches their needs. Some providers also offer free state tax return preparation. Those with an AGI over the limit can still file their return for free with Free File Fillable Forms [ [link removed] ].
*Get started with IRS Free File*
1. Go to IRS.gov/freefile [ [link removed] ].
2. Click on the Explore Free Guided Tax Software button.
3. Select the Find Your Trusted Partner tool or use the Browse All Trusted Partners tool.
4. Review each offer.
5. Select the desired product.
6. Follow the links to the trusted partner's website.
*Military members serving overseas may qualify for extra time to file*
Members of the military stationed overseas [ [link removed] ] have more time to file their tax returns. Additional extensions are available for those serving in combat zones [ [link removed] ]. However, those with spouses and families may choose to file as soon as they can to claim any tax benefits. If only one spouse is present to file a joint return, and certain conditions [ [link removed] ] are met, they can file a joint tax return on behalf of their spouse.
*IRS Direct File*
Taxpayers in 12 states may be eligible to file for free with the IRS Direct File [ [link removed] ] pilot, a new tax filing service from the IRS.
