ATTENTION: Single and Married Soldiers with NO DEPENDENTS
YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR DROP-OFF TAX PREPARATION
SERVICES AT THE TAX ASSISTANCE CENTER
The Fort Drum Tax Assistance Center prepares taxes on an appointment-only basis.
Soldiers that can file with the 1040EZ form, however, qualify for drop-off services: in other words, they
can walk into the Tax Assistance Center anytime during operating hours (0930-1900) and leave their
documents to be processed. NO APPOINTMENT IS NECESSARY. For more detailed information on
1040EZ, see below.
The following documents must be brought with you for drop-off service:
1) Military ID
2) Copy of Social Security Card (if you don’t have your card, we can provide information on how to
get a letter from the Social Security Administration office in Watertown)
3) Army W-2 (available at www.mypay.dfas.mil) An LES is not sufficient
4) A voided check/deposit slip in order to receive your refund by direct deposit
More information is available on the Drum Portal page and on our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/drumtax
