# Is there tax debt relief for veterans?

Updated October 8, 20262 sourcesTaxTruce team[Fact checked](/editorial-standards)

The short answer

There is no separate IRS debt relief program for veterans. The same options apply. The IRS postpones passport certification for people serving in a combat zone. Free help may be available from a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic or the Taxpayer Advocate Service.

## Words to know

[Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS)](/glossary)
:   An independent office inside the IRS that helps people with problems they can't fix on their own.
