Military life is full of challenges—frequent moves, deployments, and sudden changes. The last thing service members and their families need is the added stress of confusing or overlooked tax problems. That’s why I help eliminate the emotional and financial weight that tax issues can bring, especially for those who serve our country.
Why Military Taxes Feel So Complicated
Serving in the military often means living in one state, being stationed in another, and trying to keep up with paperwork from both. Service members and spouses are constantly faced with confusing questions:
-
Where do I file?
-
Which state taxes apply?
-
Do I owe taxes in multiple places?
Spouses often find themselves working in a different state from their home of record, which can cause unexpected tax bills. Many clients I work with have felt embarrassed and frustrated after filing incorrectly—or worse, not filing at all.
Life on the Move: Missed Documents and Missed Deadlines
Moving under orders and deploying overseas can make it easy to miss filing deadlines. Lost W-2s, forgotten 1099s, or not updating your address can lead to serious consequences. When tax notices start arriving, the stress begins to pile on. I've helped many military families who felt overwhelmed and alone after missing multiple years of tax returns.
Instead of feeling ashamed or scared when the IRS starts sending letters, my clients regain peace of mind. They know they’re no longer exposed or vulnerable—because I’m in their corner, handling the IRS for them and keeping everything on track going forward.
Special Tax Breaks That Get Missed
Many military families aren’t aware that certain types of pay—like combat pay, housing allowances, and disability retirement—are not taxable. These can be missed if you rely on generic tax software or someone who doesn’t specialize in military cases. I work to ensure that my clients don’t miss out or pay more than they should.
Some families also don’t realize that they can still deduct moving expenses if the move was due to orders. I make sure every deduction and credit is considered, especially after a PCS move or when a home becomes a rental.
Falling Behind Doesn’t Mean It's Too Late
It’s common for service members to fall behind on taxes. Some haven’t filed in years. Others are worried about IRS collection notices or threats to their security clearance. If that's you, know this: you're not alone. I help remove that fear. Whether it’s catching up on past returns or stopping aggressive IRS collection efforts, I take that burden off your shoulders.
Moving Forward With Confidence
Whether you're on active duty, transitioning out, or supporting a spouse in service, tax problems don’t have to control your life. I work directly with military families to make sure they’re never blindsided by penalties, liens, or letters again.
It’s time to stop feeling isolated, ashamed, or overwhelmed by taxes. Together, we’ll build a clear plan—so you can focus on your mission, not the IRS.
