Don't forget that you are not technically supposed to file your income taxes until you have your W-2 or 1099R in hand. In addition, this year's tax-law shenanigans mean that many folks will be better off filing later than usual.
*PCS Travel W-2 applies to Personally Procured Moves (formerly known as DITY moves.) If you did a PPM this year, please don't file until you get your PCS Travel W-2. They come late, and they can be surprising. The first time my husband got a PCS Travel W-2, way back in the days before MyPay, I spent days trying to figure out where it came from, why I had it, and what I was to do with it.
