(even that deadline is easier said than calculated.) if they get home leave, they might be able to see a tax professional.<\/p>\n special challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n but is 180 days enough? the rules for military personnel are specialized and a bit complicated, and it\u2019s hard to get help overseas. according to the tax advocacy service, service members face several special challenges, and so do tax practitioners who want to help them.<\/p>\n here are some of the special tax calculation challenges taxpayers in uniform face:<\/p>\n who\u2019s got their backs?<\/p>\n spec, which manages the vita program, lacks funding and support for the volunteer assistance program. training for vita volunteers is increasingly done only by virtual classroom, not live instructors. trained volunteers who happen to live near overseas bases are rare. so are military tax lawyers. some military bases have to bring in u.s.-based attorneys to help.<\/p>\n with few tax professionals to turn to, service members depend on the irs.gov website. but the tas says the site is inadequate and misleading.<\/p>\n the tas suggests that it shouldn\u2019t be all that difficult to establish a toll-free telephone line from overseas bases to the irs. but even that might not help much.<\/p>\n \u201ceven if service members stationed abroad were some of the lucky 40 percent who got through to the irs,\u201d the tas says, \u201cthey cannot be confident the irs employees on the other end of the line understand their issue.\u201d<\/p>\n the tas also notes that although overseas service personnel can file until june 15, the irs does not answer any tax law questions outside of the january 1 to april 15 tax season. for overseas personnel, tax season is half a year longer than that.<\/p>\n the tas has made four recommendations to the irs that would alleviate many of the above problems. whether congress will move on those recommendations before april 15 or even june 15 or even the end of various wars, is, to say the least dubious. meanwhile, 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 would like to suggest that tax practitioners would be doing themselves and their country a favor if they can train themselves in the military income tax rules and offer service to those who offer service.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" tax professionals have a special duty to help.\u00a0 by rick telberg 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 “thank you for your service” isn’t enough. special report \u2013 fixing the irs: irs #fails at online services spell problems for professionals | tax accountants fill the … continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2303,3120,1906,2246],"tags":[738],"class_list":["post-54337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tax-season","category-pro-member-exclusive","category-tax-practice","category-busy-season","tag-irs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
