1/27/2012 - WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. -- The Whiteman Air Force Base Tax Assistance Office opened for business Tuesday in building 509, suite 215.
Tax assistance is available to active duty, guard, reservists on Title 10 orders, dependents and retirees, free of charge with a valid military ID.
The tax center's hours of operation are:
Jan. 24 to Feb. 3: Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.: Walk-ins are available for 1040EZ filers only. (1040EZ filers are those who are single with no dependents and are not itemizing.) The last walk-in is taken at 3:15 p.m.
Feb. 6 to April 17: Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. (by appointment only) and Fridays, 1:15 to 3:15 p.m. Walk-ins are available for 1040EZ filers. The last walk-in is taken at 3:15 p.m. (Closed for lunch from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m.)
Items to bring to the tax center:
A social security card is mandatory and required for all members listed on the tax return.
Income: W-2s/1099R/1099 INT/DIV/MISC
Child care information (employee's identification number, address and total amount paid per dependent.)
Blank check (used to get the bank's routing number and account information so refunds can be direct deposited.)
Last year's tax return.
Power of Attorney (if both members cannot be there to sign the return.)
Any other additional tax documents applicable to the taxpayer (i.e. - student loans, scholarships, educational expenses, mortgage interests, charitable contributions.)
For additional information and links visit the Tax Center SharePoint site at https://whiteman.eis.af.mil/int/509thBW/taxcenter/default.aspx. The site provides access to the required intake and interview sheet for clients before being seen.
Additionally, it is the link to the Military No Return Required online form for Missouri non-residents who must notify the Missouri Department of Revenue that their Military Income and their spouses (if applicable under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act) is exempt from Missouri State Taxes.
Nonresident military personnel stationed in Missouri will not have their military pay taxed. However, if the military member gets an additional job in Missouri, that pay is taxable to Missouri.
Military Spouse Residency Relief Act - Nonresident Missouri spouses in Missouri solely to be with the service member with military orders and have had no state tax withheld may complete the Missouri No Return Required.
If income was taxed by Missouri and the taxpayer was otherwise exempt from paying Missouri states taxes, the taxpayer must file a Missouri Tax return to receive a refund.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance representatives will not be available and tax payers should see a professional tax preparer for assistance with out-of-scope tax returns. Examples of out-of-scope tax returns are home businesses with losses or three or more rental properties. If tax payers are unsure, they can contact the tax center.
Members can log on to https://mypay.dfas.mil to obtain their 2011 tax statements.
Clients can call 660-687-2896 to schedule an appointment and are asked not to contact the base legal office.
