Free Turbo Tax Filing For Military

This year, the Department of Defense is providing free access to the popular TurboTax filing program to all active duty guard and reserves (regardless of their activation status) and their family members via the Web site http://www.militaryonesource.com.
This free program serves as an online “tax mentor” and helps in the preparation and filing of both federal and state taxes. Military OneSource can also refer you to certified financial counselors, tax experts and public accountants who can answer questions, also at no charge, by calling toll-free: (800) 342-9647.

Thank you Sondra for this.

On just about all Military Instillations they have Volunteer Income Tax Assistants (VITA) which are trained by the IRS. I did this for my last 3 years in the military and really enjoyed it. The service is FREE along with electronic filing and is overseen by the base Legal Office. The VITA people also have access lines to the IRS to help with problems.
The service is for all active duty, reserve, guard, dependents, and retired folks.
