Are there any tax write offs for people in the military?

Answer 1

Not many.

If you're an officer you could try and claim uniforms since you only received a one time allowance when you came in. Enlisted folks recieve an annual uniform allotment.

If you've PCS'd recently you could try and claim any moving expenses the government didn't reimburse you for, but most of the time they cover you pretty well. You can even ship certain items as professional equipment so they won't count against your weight allowance.

Maybe medical expenses but there again you're pretty much covered by TriCare.

Unless any of these unreimbursed expenses are excessive, I think you might be out of luck, but a tax advisor would be the best source of advice.
