A1: I just received a letter from the Defense Finance & Accounting Service. This letter states the President of the UNITED STATES signed into law the Combat-Injured Veterans Tax Fairness Act of 2016, which provides eligible vets the right to seek a refund of taxes they may have paid on disability severance pay. What you should do; complete & mail IRS form 1040X to the IRS Kansas City address. Call 833-558-5245 ext 378. (HB) 7/24/18
