WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio –
The Defense Department’s free tax preparation and e-filing software for service members and their families is now available for the 2025 tax season.
Military OneSource MilTax is designed to handle complex military-specific tax scenarios such as deployments and multistate filings and includes free one-on-one help from specially trained tax experts.
With MilTax, service members and immediate family members can file their federal return and up to three state tax returns for free. Survivors are eligible for MilTax, and recent veterans can access it up to 365 days from their separation or retirement.
“Our goal is to empower members of the military community to remain focused and mission-ready by addressing life’s challenges efficiently,” said Kelly Smith, associate director of Military Community Support Programs. “During tax season, financial stress can weigh heavily on service members and their families. That’s why Military OneSource MilTax is here to ease the burden with free consultations, tax preparation and e-filing services.”
Eligibility is verified through the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System, or DEERS.
