Free tax preparation for those who serve

The Armed Forces Tax Service prepares and files federal and state returns at no cost to eligible Active Duty military personnel and Federal employees. About 3,000 returns a year.

Each year, AFBN provides professional tax preparation and electronic filing services at no cost to eligible Active Duty military personnel and Federal employees. Today, AFBN prepares approximately 3,000 tax returns annually through this program.

Prepared by people who know military pay

Military families can encounter circumstances that aren't always familiar to traditional tax preparation services:

  • PCS moves and multiple state residencies
  • Deployments and combat-zone income
  • Military allowances such as BAH and BAS
  • Retirement contributions, including TSP
  • Military spouse considerations

The objective isn't simply to prepare a return. It is to provide knowledgeable tax assistance from professionals familiar with the military community, while eliminating the cost of professional tax preparation for the families we serve.

How it works

The service runs from AFBN offices on or near the installations we serve, and by virtual appointment for eligible individuals wherever military or Federal service takes them. Choose your base below for the local line and book a time.

Thousands of returns each year represent thousands of opportunities for AFBN to fulfill its broader mission: providing meaningful financial assistance to those who serve.
