According to military.com, the online version of turbo tax will be available for active, reserve, retired, annuitants and federal employees paid by DFAS. Terrific if you're not in a reasonable commuting distance of an active duty installation, but look around-the free service offered thru JAG is terrific, I've used them for the past 4 years. They complete everything and even file electronically (both state and federal), they also don't mind doing special cases (farm land, real estate investments, home businesses, etc).
Looks like the key is whether or not DFAS is your pay source. If it is, you shouldn't have any problem.

Did you try 'other' as duty station? It's definitely open to more than AD, all the states and territories national guard are listed. If you can't get it to work, they have a 1800 number for assistance. Good luck!
