WASHINGTON —As part of National Work and Family Month, the Internal Revenue Service reminds military families that they often qualify for specific tax rules and benefits.
National Work and Family Month was established in 2003 by a Senate resolution. October was chosen to help communicate and celebrate progress towards creating more flexible work environments and helping individuals better balance their work-life commitments.
Members of the military and their families often qualify for tax benefits that could lower the tax they owe or allow them more time to file and pay their federal taxes. One of the key sources of information for military families is Publication 3, Armed Forces’ Tax Guide. It is available on IRS.gov in English and Spanish.

As part of National Work and Family month, the IRS also reminds military families about opportunities available within the agency. The IRS Veterans’ Employment Program Office is designed to provide quality training and work experience to wounded warriors and veterans.
The program helps veterans who qualify for special hiring authority seek employment at the IRS and also offers them non-paid internship opportunities. The program also helps veterans develop their resumes, better understand the federal hiring process and search for employment within the IRS or other federal agencies.
