Combat Injured Vet Tax Fairness Act 2016

Yes he is within the years covered. In fact he received the letter which was how we knew about it. We called the DFAS and they said to get a copy of his DD214 and a copy of his LES and then I guess he refiles for the refund. I am nervous. July is the cut off and we dont live in the USA. We cant get a copy of his taxes he filed and according to the Tax Advocacy people the IRS dont have records for the 1990s either. If that is the case I dont know how they could reject his claim for the basic 1750 dollars. After all, he got the severance, he paid the tax out of it so as far as I am concerned he is owed the money. I am feeling pretty stupid right now because I just dont understand. We are not the only people in this situation.


You are definitely not alone. I too live outside of the US, and I am have not been able to figure this out yet.
Luckily, I will be in the states for a week or so next month and plan to resolve it as best I can while there.
