I’ve done my share of reading and seeing that military taxes should be done by someone with experience in the military realm. This is my first time filing taxes while in the military, I am married, and stationed in South Korea away from my family. I am looking for recommendations on how to handle my taxes, I’m trying to file federal and state return. Thank you in advance.

There's absolutely no need for a special preparer, or any special requirements for military. If you like, the post will prepare your taxes for you, also taxact and taxslayer will prepare your return and file it electronically for free for military. Unless you are somehow claiming and itemizing more than 24,000 in deductions you can just take the standard deduction. The tax software will do all the rest.

Nothing special about it. Each installations has a Tax center which will be glad to help you in the manner.

SPC (Join to see), unless you have multiple sources of income (ie: rental property, private/commercial business owner, multiple employers, etc) or more than $20K in deductions, I'd recommend using TurboTax or similar. I think it's even free for junior enlisted if accessed through USAA website. I've used them for over 15 years with no issues. The software walks you through each step and has decent online help if needed.
I'd recommend staying away from H&R Botch (Block). They royally F***'d up my taxes three years in a row. Plus, they are double or more the cost of purchasing home software (such as the aforementioned TurboTax).
