There is great news for the military community. There are several options for military personnel to file their 2007 taxes for free. Most major military installations have a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) office. Marines, Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Reserve members, Guardsmen, and their families worldwide are eligible to receive free tax preparation assistance at offices within their installations.

Participating VITA sites provide free tax advice, tax preparation, and assistance to military members and their families. Most importantly, they are trained and equipped to address military specific tax issues, such as combat zone tax benefits, out of state residency issues, and the effects of the new Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) guidelines.

For those who prefer to do your own taxes, there are several options to e-file your taxes online - free of charge.
