Tax help for military filers

@ UsernameAddedUnderDuress 

Also, after entering your W-2 from DFAS, TurboTax has a screen with multiple checkboxes asking if the W-2 has any of about 9-10 "Uncommon situations."    One of the items to check there is "Active duty military."    I know it's odd, since TurboTax already asked if you were active duty (along with other military questions, such as indicating rank, etc.) in the MY INFO section, but for some reason it asks it again on a screen after the W-2.   It's easy to overlook with the multiple checkboxes of "Uncommon situations" on that screen.   Seems redundant, but it does ask the "active duty" question twice, and has to be answered in both places.

 

If it still tries to charge at the end, DO NOT PAY.   We can tell you how to phone TurboTax Support.  It's easier to work out before paying.  If you pay, they may not refund it.
