Tax help for military filers

True, if you somehow selected LIVE service....that isn't covered.

 

But if you didn't select LIVE service....you should, check/edit the W-2 again.

On the page AFTER the main W-2 form, there is a page with a whole long list of checkboxes.  Right in the middle is one that must be checked.....indicating that the W-2 received was for Active Duty service.
