The Ramstein Tax Center will help customers prepare their tax returns. This year’s program uses volunteer tax preparers who will guide customers through the tax season. A key change to the program is the use of software on the Web site, MilitaryOneSource.com. Also new, is an increase in the number of computer stations for filing taxes. Customers will input their own tax data and work with a volunteer. MilitaryOneSource tax advisors will also be able to quickly and accurately prepare customers’ tax returns.
