Tax Information for Military Personnel
The Air Force Legal Assistance Division of the Pentagon has produced
a helpful document called the Deployment Tax Guide (pdf) for
the use of reservists, active military and Guard members. See
page 37 of the document for information specific to Wisconsin
tax law. For assistance with this document, call Major Tom Farmer,
Air Force Legal Assistance Division, Pentagon 703/697-0413 or
703/695-2450. The section on Wisconsin also provides a link to
the Department of Revenue for state income tax information http://www.dor.state.wi.us/pubs/02pb104.pdf.
In addition to the Pentagon, the Internal Revenue Service has
prepared Tax Tip 2003-41: Reservist, New Enlistees May Get Deferral
for Back Taxes. This IRS tax tip and details for applying for
the tax payment deferral are in Publication 3 of the Armed Forces'
Tax Guide. You can download the pdf file here
or order it by calling toll free 1-800-TAX-FORM (I-800-829-3676).
