Do you still get the tax credit for having children when you have been in a combat zone?
I believe that to be eligible for the head of household tax credit you need to have had your children living with you for 9 months out of the year. However, I am also thinking that there must be extenuating circumstances for military, because of needing someone to take care of them for that time.





There is a tax service on post that can help you do your taxes and get all of the credits you are legally due.
