Tax Filing Resources

• Take advantage of Military OneSource’s MilTax free tax prep software.
• Make an appointment with an IRS-certified volunteer at Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) for free tax preparation and filing help.
• Utilize IRS Free File that lets you file your federal tax return online free of charge.
• File an extension using IRS Form 4686, which gives you until October 15 to file your tax return. You may still be responsible for paying any tax due by the original April filing deadline.
