By: fedweek

The Defense Department’s Military OneSource family support program is once again offering free, online tax preparation and filing for active duty service members, National Guardsmen and reservists and their families. Filers who use Military OneSource’s online system can expect to receive their refund within 10 days, said Jane Burke, principal DoD director for Military OneSource. Tax consultants at the site are trained to answer questions on preparing and filing taxes and provide other financial management information, she said. Additionally service members and their families can get guidance and answers to questions, Burke said. The Military OneSource service augments the voluntary income tax assistance program offered through legal centers at most military installations, said Burke. The Military OneSource Web site is at www.militaryonesource.com.
