GRAFENWOEHR, Germany -- Tax centers across Bavaria will open for business beginning Feb. 3.
The tax centers provide free federal and state tax-return preparation and e-filing services to eligible community members, including Soldiers, family members, DoD civilians and retirees.
Prior to scheduling an appointment with or visiting the tax center, community members should ensure they have all income documentation and social security cards or individual taxpayer identification numbers for all persons listed on the tax return.
Necessary income documentation includes prior-year tax returns, W-2s, 1099s, mortgage statements, and receipts, as well as bank account and routing numbers.
This is especially true for taxpayers with complicated returns, such as capital gains, rental real estate income or loss, foreign earned income or foreign taxes paid, or multiple state income tax returns.
If unsure about which forms apply, contact your local legal assistance center prior to making an appointment.
This year's tax deadline is April 15; however, if community members are filing only to claim a refund, there is a two-month overseas extension to June 16.
For more information, contact your servicing legal assistance office or tax center.
Note: Most tax centers will open Feb. 3. Community members should call legal assistance prior to that date.
