Relocation Income Tax Allowance (RITA)
We begin processing RITA claims after the 2012 marginal tax rates are published. Then, your claim will be processed in the order it was received. Watch for an announcement stating we have received tax rates and can begin processing.
How do I file a RITA claim?
New DoD Security Requirement:
Travel Pay Customer Care Centers are now accepting Power of Attorneys directly. A customer or an agent working on behalf of the customer can submit a scanned or faxed copy of the Power of Attorney, which will be kept on file. A Power of Attorney can be scanned and sent to POAFORM@dfas.mil. Customers should contact their respective branch at 1-866-332-7411 to obtain a fax number.

New DoD Security Requirement:
- When emailing your travel claim to DFAS, please send from your military/government email account. Recent DoD security requirements block PDF files containing JavaScript when sent from personal email accounts.
- If you cannot send from your military/government account, then print your entire travel claim and scan to create new PDFs which can then be sent from your personal email account.
- DFAS is working to ensure DoD/Government internet sites revise their blank fillable forms to meet these new security requirements. Until then, we apologize for any inconvenience.
