ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Each New Year is quickly followed by income tax filing season.
Monday, April 15, 2019, is the 2018 tax return filing deadline for most taxpayers (Maine, Massachusetts and District of Columbia resident citizens have until April 17).
Federal tax returns for 2018 will be different, in some cases much simpler, due to the large and numerous tax code changes enacted last year.
Because of the increased standard deduction amounts, many taxpayers will find that itemizing deductions is not needed for their federal return; however, itemizing deductions for their state return may still be necessary or beneficial.
One of the 14 basic principles of Ethical Conduct in the Joint Ethics Regulation applicable to all Department of Defense employees is to satisfy, in good faith, their obligations as citizens, including income tax return requirements.
The foundation for federal income taxes is premised upon the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which Congress passed in 1909 and which was ratified Feb. 3, 1913.
