If you fall into the above category follow these steps to trigger the discount.

 

  1. In the "My Info" section
  2. Edit your personal information
  3. Indicate your military status (Active/Reserve)
  4. Indicate an "Enlisted Pay Grade"
  5. Continue to complete the section
  6. Next in the federal "Wages & Income" section
  7. Edit your military W2
  8. Verify/enter the form information
  9. In the follow on page asking about "Uncommon Situations"
  10. Select "Active Military Pay" from the list
  11. Continue to complete the section
  12. The discount will be applied when you are ready to file
