The IRS is here to help military members and veterans with their unique tax needs
Members of the U.S. Armed Forces, veterans and their families may qualify for special tax benefits. Whether they have a simple or complex tax situation, the IRS provides information to make filing taxes easier to understand for those sacrificing so much for our country.
*Benefits for military members*
Some of the tax benefits for service members include:
* *Combat pay* [ [link removed] ]: This pay is partially or fully tax-free. Service members serving in support of a combat zone or in a qualified hazardous duty area may also qualify for this exclusion.
* *Combat zone tax deadline extensions* [ [link removed] ]: Qualifying members of the military, such as those who serve in a combat zone or in contingency operations outside the U.S., can get additional time to file and pay their taxes.
* *Armed Forces dependency allotments* [ [link removed] ]: Assistance programs for dependent care allotments contributed by the government are excludable benefits and not included in the military member's income.
* *Earned Income Tax Credit* [ [link removed] ]*:* The EITC is worth up to $7,830 for tax year 2024. Low and moderate income service members who receive nontaxable combat pay can use specific qualifications that may increase the amount of the EITC for which they qualify, meaning they may owe less tax or get a larger refund.
* *Moving expenses* [ [link removed] ]*: *Members of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty may be eligible to deduct unreimbursed relocation expenses if their move was due to a military order and permanent change of station. Also, allowances paid to move members of the U.S. Armed Forces for a permanent change of station aren’t taxable.
For more details on benefits for military members, taxpayers can refer to the Military Family Tax Benefits page [ [link removed] ] on IRS.gov.
*What to do when it’s time to file
*The Department of Defense provides MilTax [ [link removed] ], a suite of tax services free for members of the military, qualifying veterans and family members.
Many military installations offer free income tax assistance in person through the military Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. Military service members can contact their installation's legal office for details.
