Uncle Sam Owes YOU: Computer Glitch Caused Undue IRS Taxation

Released 7/19/18 at Disabled Veterans (Blog) | Tags: Congressional Legislation

Between 1991 and 2016, the Department of Defense had an undetected glitch that may have cost you thousands of dollars in IRS taxes. It made disability severance payments subject to income taxes, which they’re not supposed to be. If you were injured in combat and have ever gotten a disability severance package, this means that you are likely entitled to a tax refund of  $1,750. The National Veterans Legal Service Program (NVLSP) estimates that some vets may be owed upwards of $10,000.
