If you are a member of the United States Armed Forces, you may be wondering if it is free for military to file taxes. The answer is yes! There are a few different ways that military members can file their taxes for free.
One way is to use the Free File program through the IRS website. This program is available to anyone who meets the income requirements, which you can find on the IRS website. If you qualify, you can use one of the participating tax software companies to prepare and e-file your federal tax return for free.
Another way to file your taxes for free if you are in the military is to use Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites. These sites are staffed with IRS-certified volunteers who can help you prepare and e-file your federal tax return for free. You can find VITA sites on the IRS website or by calling 1-800-906-9887.
Finally, active duty military members stationed outside of the United States may be able to file their taxes for free using Military OneSource's MilTax software. This software includes all of the forms and schedules needed to complete your federal tax return, and it will even calculate any combat zone tax benefits that you may be eligible for. You can access MilTax from any computer with an internet connection, and there is no income limit to use this software.
