Volunteer income tax preparers at U.S. military installations around the world have access to free professional software this year, thanks to an agreement between Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting, the IRS’ Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program, and the Armed Forces Tax Council.
The tax preparers, who help serve members of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard and their families, have full access to the TaxWise Online 2016 system, as well as the full suite of solutions for small tax and accounting businesses from Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting.
“This announcement is a strong testament to the commitment Wolters Kluwer makes to working with non-profit and volunteer professional tax preparers, who collectively provide an invaluable service to millions of American taxpayers annually,” said Julie Peck, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting North America, US Small Firm Professional.
“Although my comments do not in any way imply federal endorsement of any commercial products or services, I would like to thank the Internal Revenue Service and Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting for providing military tax centers with free tax preparation software to facilitate the efficient preparation of military tax returns,” said Samuel Kan, Executive Director of the Armed Forces Tax Council. “Our military members and their families will be able to save a considerable amount of money by visiting our free military VITA tax centers across the world, rather than paying for tax preparation services that could easily cost hundreds of dollars per tax return.”
