Beginning Jan. 24, U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force active duty Service members will be able to access their 2013 W-2 tax statements from the myPay website.

National Guard and Reserve Service members currently have access to view or print their W-2 forms.

After the forms are printed, Joint Base Langley-Eustis Service members can take their tax documents either the Langley Air Force Base or Fort Eustis tax centers. The by-appointment service offers free tax preparation for active duty, retirees and their dependents, open Feb. 3 to April 15, 2014, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For individuals looking to prepare their taxes themselves, the IRS has published a newly-revised comprehensive tax guide now available on their official website.

"Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax", provides taxpayers with details on a wide range of tax-saving opportunities. It also features a rundown on tax changes for 2013, including information on revised tax rates and new limits on various tax benefits.

For more information on Publication 17, as well as updated versions of various tax forms, instructions and publications visit www.irs.gov.
