Tax help for military filers
If you joined the military in 2021, and you received a W-2 from the service (DFAS) for 2021 , then yes, you check the box that it was a military W-2 on the page after the main W-2 form with all the various checkboxes.
For the civilian W-2, you don't make that selection....each W-2 stands on it's own, but both are entered into the software.
_____________________________
And...if you did join the military in 2021, then you indicate that also on the My Info page where you enter information about yourself.
________________
But if you joined more recently, in 2022, then you do neither of those until next year's tax filing in early 2023.
