Rutherford urging military
families to use free tax services
PONTIAC, IL – Illinois’ military personnel, active
duty, reservists and National Guard members who are currently
deployed or recently returned from active duty are
eligible to
receive free tax preparation, according to State
Senator Dan Rutherford (R-Pontiac).
“Our friends with the Illinois CPA Society have
graciously volunteered their services on behalf of our
nation’s fighting men and women,” Rutherford said. “This
will benefit military personnel by easing the burden of
tax preparation.”
The 24,000 members of the Illinois CPA Society are
showing their appreciation for the dedicated men and
women of the U.S. military by
offering free personal tax preparation services to
anyone who is deployed or recently returned from a
combat zone or other qualified hazardous duty area. CPA
Society members will match service personnel with local
tax preparers to find full tax benefits, exclusions,
filing and payment extensions available to qualified
individuals. Service personnel are encouraged to use
this service if they do not have an existing
relationship with a tax professional. The service is
available year-round to service personnel and family
members.
For further information please visit the ICPAS Web site
at
www.icpas.org or call 1-800-993-0407, extension 277.
All members of the military who are Illinois residents
and are either deployed or have recently returned from a
combat zone, are eligible for this service.
