The document provides information about tax preparation services available at the Fort Drum Tax Assistance Center. It states that single and married soldiers with no dependents who can file the 1040EZ tax form qualify for drop-off tax preparation services, which do not require an appointment. To use the drop-off service, soldiers must bring their military ID, Social Security card copy, Army W-2, and a voided check. The requirements for filing a 1040EZ tax form are also listed. Soldiers who do not qualify for a 1040EZ are directed to the center's online resources for free tax preparation options.

1. 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
