H&R Block Salutes Military Heroes With Six Tax Tips

2009-11-09 12:44 ET - News Release

KANSAS CITY, MO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/09/09

Taxes may be the furthest things from the minds of our military as they serve in remote areas around the world. But distance and time can add to the complexity of tax issues. H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) offers six answers to commonly asked tax questions from those in uniform.

1. I'm serving in a combat zone. What's my tax deadline?

The IRS grants extra time to file returns, request refunds or even pay taxes due. The extension is:

1) The period of time served in a combat zone, plus

2) Any continuous time outside the U.S. you were hospitalized for injuries sustained in a combat zone, plus

3) 180 days.

For example, for soldiers whose duty in Iraq ends Dec. 31, 2009, their 2009 tax return is due Dec. 12, 2010 -- 180 days after their last day of service and after the usual tax return filing due date of April 15, 2010.

The remainder is available to Stockwatch subscribers.
