    KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany -- The Kaiserslautern Legal Services Center is officially opening tax assistance centers on Kleber Kaserne, Pulaski Barracks and Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Feb. 2.

    The tax centers' free services will be available to all service members, retirees, civilian employees and family members requiring assistance in filing returns.

    The tax centers, located in Building 3210 on Kleber Kaserne, Building 2886 on Pulaski and Building 3701 on Landstuhl, will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, excluding U.S. federal holidays.

    Appointments are not required; however that option exists in addition to walk-in services.

    Customers will need to ensure they bring all of their Form W-2s, Form-1099, social security numbers for all family members and bank information for direct deposit. The tax centers have no computers for customers to obtain their Form W-2s online.

    Individuals with complicated returns will need to provide additional information with their tax documents, and they will be required to utilize the drop-off service.

    Complicated returns include: Form 1099B capital gain or loss, rental property, self-employment income, foreign earned income, foreign income tax, tax treaty exclusion, prior year state or federal returns and Puerto Rico returns.

    Drop-off returns will be prepared, and the taxpayer will be notified when the return is completed or if more information is required, typically two to three days.

    Late additions to new tax laws this year can affect the speed at which some taxpayers can file and complete their returns. The most significant change is that all taxpayers must report whether they had health care coverage during all months in 2014, in compliance with the Affordable Care Act.

    Taxpayers using the tax centers can expect reliable help from well-trained tax professionals at no additional cost to the individual.

    For more information, or to speak with a tax specialist, contact the Kleber Tax Center at 483-7688 (0631-411-7688) or the Landstuhl Tax Center at 486-6334 or (06371-86-6334).
