This notice provides relief for tax
year 2009 to civilian spouses of servicemembers who claim the
benefits of the taxation provisions under the Military Spouses
Residency Relief Act (MSRRA). This notice provides certain
civilian spouses working in a U.S. territory during 2009 but
claiming a residence or domicile in one of the 50 States or the
District of Columbia with an extension of time through October 15,
2010 for paying the tax due for their 2009 federal income tax
returns. Additionally, this notice provides certain civilian
spouses working in one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia
during 2009 but claiming a residence or domicile in a U.S.
territory under MSRRA with guidance on filing claims for refund of
federal income taxes that their employers withheld and remitted to
the IRS or estimated tax payments the taxpayers paid to the IRS
during 2009.
We kindly request
expedited processing of this Paperwork Reduction Act Submission.
MSRRA was passed on November 11, 2009, and was made applicable to
tax year 2009. Since taxpayers have already begun filing income tax
returns for tax year 2009, it is imperative that this notice be
published as quickly as possible. The interest in expedited
processing is bolstered by the fact that this notice applies
specifically to the civilian spouses of active duty
servicemembers.
