 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake. The 2014 tax statement schedule is now available on the MyPay website. Reserve sailors can expect their W-2 to be available January 7th. Active and Reserve Marines will receive their W-2 January 14th, while Active Duty Sailors will receive their W-2 January 24th. Tax season can be as stressful and confusing time, so take advantage of programs that are designed to help you. Active Duty Sailors, their dependents and retirees can use the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance or VITA program to get free help with filing their taxes. VITA volunteers are certified by the IRS and offer free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing. If you'd like to learn to prepare taxes, go to the IRS website and fill out an application to get the online training. You can also find a VITA site near you or learn how to become a volunteer.
