If you return set up the taxonomy field to return term object then get_field will return an array of terms

$terms = get_field('my_tax_field');
echo '<pre>'; print_r($terms); echo '</pre>';

The result of the above looks something like this

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [term_id] => 2
            [name] => test category 1
            [slug] => test-category-1
            [term_group] => 0
            [term_taxonomy_id] => 2
            [taxonomy] => category
            [description] => 
            [parent] => 0
            [count] => 1
            [object_id] => 1
            [filter] => raw
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [term_id] => 3
            [name] => test category 2
            [slug] => test-category-2
            [term_group] => 0
            [term_taxonomy_id] => 3
            [taxonomy] => category
            [description] => 
            [parent] => 0
            [count] => 1
            [object_id] => 1
            [filter] => raw
        )

)

You then need to loop through the terms to get the term->name and term->slug

foreach ($terms as $term) {
    $name = $term->name;
    $slug = $term->slug;
}

Hope that answers your question.
