CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – As the temperature drops and gym memberships
rise with the New Year, tax season opens in full swing and Marine Corps Base
Camp Lejeune has a one stop shop for all service members and their families.
The base
tax center offer completely free tax preparation and filing services to service
members, their families, retirees and base employees.
“Here we
can get all of your taxes prepared fully at no charge at all,” said Lance Cpl.
Taylor Devillier, Noncommission Officer in Charge. “MCCS employees are welcome
to come as well, however we do not accept temporary base employees.”
While
using the base tax center, you can be confident in knowing that the person
filing your taxes for you is properly qualified, said Devillier.
“All the
Marines go to a course on Camp Johnson, taught by the IRS,” said Devillier.
“The IRS sends a representative to us directly and they give a course which
goes over tax services. We learn how to prepare returns, tax law and how to
recognize a fraudulent return. After that course, all of us go take a test
where we get certified to prepare and file taxes.”
While
other institutions or options to file your tax return are available, most
require payment or fees.
“Take
advantage of this resource,” said Devillier. “This is free to the military. We
can get you in and out, quick and easy. You will not be persuaded to one thing
or another and you’re getting your taxes done by someone who is certified and
qualified to do it.”
