Course Overview

Understanding the complexities of military taxes is crucial for service members to maximize their benefits and ensure compliance. A deep dive into these aspects helps service members analyze how their unique circumstances—like deployments and relocations—impact their tax filings. 

This CE Course will focus on the importance of proper reporting and the tools available to reduce tax burdens effectively. We will discuss various tax issues that directly affect U.S. military service members, including their eligibility for specific tax benefits. We'll explore how to analyze tax-free allowances such as Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS), which are excluded from federal taxes. 

Major Topics Covered:

  • Tax Filing Basics
  • Military-Specific Tax Benefits
  • Tax Residency and State Taxes
  • Combat Zone Tax Exclusions
  • Deductions and Credits
  • Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
  • Resources for Military Taxpayers

Join us for an informative and engaging CE Course tailored specifically for tax professionals serving military clients. This course will provide a comprehensive overview of the unique tax benefits, responsibilities, and strategies available to U.S. military personnel and their families.
