Was your Severance pay taxed erroneously?

[Berta]

In Part:

"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. "

The news of this tax error came out in 2016- and went through Congress etc-and finally combat injured veterans can do something about it.

DOD started sending letters out on July 9th, 2018 to affected veterans.
