Joseph Brown Anaconda Times Staff See Page 15 LSA ANCONDA, Iraq - As tax season comes to a close, there is no need for servicemembers to worry about dwindling deadlines. Extensions are given and filing help is available here until May 15. “All deployed servicemembers automatically have a 180 day extension to file their taxes,” said Sgt. Bethany Becker of Hutto, Texas, the legal as- sistance noncommissioned officer in charge, 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary). “The 180 days starts when they redeploy.” There is also filing assistance for servicemem- bers on Anaconda, much like on any active duty Army base in the States. The consolidated legal center, located at building 9103, can help service- members prepare forms 1040a and 1040EZ. “We offer electronic filing of federal and state taxes,” Becker said. “If servicemembers have any other tax issues, I will do my best to help or find someone who can help them.” Assistance at the tax center is free, and if ser- vicemembers file their taxes using the E-file pro- gram, they can receive their refund in as little as 10 days, Becker said.
