Anyone else having a hard time with taxes due to deployment? I did ours last week with the free military offer from Turbo Tax and it seems as if we owe over $3,000
I'm having a hard time believing this is accurate because DH was deployed for all but 3 weeks in 2005 and was tax exempt. When I do my taxes separately I end up getting back almost $1,000, but adding in his we end up owing. Most of his income shows up properly on his W-2, but it's also reporting $10,000 as taxable income that was never taxed. I have no idea what this could be as his re-enlistment bonus was also tax exempt since he signed in a combat zone. There was no way he made $10,000 in the 3 weeks he was stateside! He already went to command, but they haven't been much help. Anyone else have tax issues or have any advice to give?
Thanks!
