“We are extremely accurate and thorough in our work here at the Tax Center,” said Marine Corps 1st Lt.

Dryden explained that due to COVID-19 mitigation efforts, eligible clients are required to schedule an appointment to receive filing assistance. She explained that once scheduled, arriving clients can expect a quick filing process performed by the Marines with LSSS, H&S Battalion.
