my husband has been gone 13 months , this past tax season we filed and got a return but half the year was taxable and the other he was deployed...But im wondering when tax season comes around this year, will we owe money since he didnt pay taxes all year? How does that work?

I know pay is taxable.. what im asking is since my husband has been in a combat zone for the whole year, when we go to file our income tax will we owe money, since he didnt pay taxes while he was deployed

Since your husband was deployed the entire year, his income will be tax free which means he will pay zero to income tax. He will not owe anything but you will get a return at the end of the year. That saved my husband and I a couple of years ago when he deployed the first time! We were living in Cali and I made a ton of money and claimed exempt a couple of times and he was actually in Iraq for 7 months out of the year and it ended up saving us and instead of owing the government we got $1200 back!!

Go to the tax center on your husband's post. They'll file for him. They know all the extra things that H&R Block doesn't, and they'll get you a LOT of money back that you otherwise wouldn't. Plus, it's FREE! Just another benefit you get that you might not have known about.
Trust me!
Plus, they file electronically, so the money is in your account in days instead of weeks/months, and no pesky check to try to cash.

Pay is normally taxable, the exception being when he is deployed into a combat zone. Allowances like BAQ and FSA are not.
When he leaves the combat zone disbursing (his pay office) adjusts his pay back to a taxable status.

You will owe 0 dollars to my knowledge. All money made overseas is tax free. I believe you don't claim that as income when you file.

no taxes came out so you will not get as much back. the only thing that may help is if you have kids and can use those and EIC deductions. suggest that you take the money that would have come out for taxes all year and set that aside to pay the property tax bil.

The link to the good old IRS should ease your mind..............
If you overapid last year you can file an amended return.
I did not look for pubs or forms in regards to claiming the exclusion. Should not be hard to find though.
