Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When you are working on your amended return please verify that indicated in two places that you are military:

 

  • The first is in the "My Info" section after you enter your name and occupation. You can click on "My Info" on the left and click on "Edit" next to your name. Scroll down to "I am a member or former member of the U.S. Armed Forces (active, reserve or National Guard).Turbo Tax will ask follow-up questions.
  • The second is on the "Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W-2?" screen after you enter your W-2, you can check the active-duty military box for the W-2. (Click on "Search" on the top right, type “W-2”, and click on “Jump to W-2”)

 

When you are in the State interview continue through the questions until you get the "U.S. Armed Forces Active Duty Pay" screen and enter your active duty pay from box 1 of your DFAS W-2.
