What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
My husband planned to re-up for another three years in the Navy despite the medical problems he'd already been dealing with over that last year.
He was told last minute he could not re-inlist. His out date was March 3rd 2008 and he received the first two months of his active duty pay and then 50 percent of his wages for separation pay.
He went on to file a claim with the VA for disability. He received a rating of 90 percent. The first few months of his disability payments went to pay back the separation pay entirely. We do have the letter with his rating and also stating that the first payments would be going to pay back the separation pay.
We received the W2 from the military, or from dfas, and the wages shows the separation pay and the active duty pay from the first two months together. Claiming income we technically didnt receive would put us in the next tax bracket. How do we get this filed correctly?
I've called the VA they say ask a tax professional, I've called DFAS and they say ask a tax professional, so I ask a tax professional and they don't have a clue.
Anyone else know?
