GetThis: Get Tax Help If You Need It!
By Carl Surran
Spring 2006
Tax assistance and tax information is available for military families and servicemembers.
Most major military installations have a tax assistance office staffed with trained military members or volunteers providing free tax advice, tax preparation and electronic filing. Servicemembers stationed abroad also can obtain tax information through mid-June at U.S. embassies and consulates.
If you need professional help, meeting with a financial advisor or CPA often pays for itself by lowering the taxes you pay.
