Case Study 2: Payment DefermentsAnita Bennett is a Navy officer who started her active service January 25, 2022. Although she did not serve in a combat zone, she can show that her 2022 income decreased as a result of her military service, and she was unable to pay her 2022 taxes by the due date. She received a notice requesting payment from the IRS. Should Anita submit a request for deferment? Click here for an explanation. Because Anita is an officer, her initial period of service is limited to two years of active service. She was inducted into the Armed Forces on January 25, 2022, so her initial period of service ended January 25, 2024. Therefore, Anita is entitled to a deferment for her 2022 taxes, and can make a written request to the IRS office that issued the notice.
