As south Orange County residents start gearing up for tax season, Liberty Tax Service has opened its newest location in Dana Point to provide local residents with quality tax preparation.
The new location—owned and operated by Tammy Dunn, Brenda Yecke and Vicky Wilson—will be kicking off tax season with a grand opening roadside party on Jan. 7. Tax professionals and in-house Covered California enrollment counselors will be on-hand to provide free tax advice and information on how Obamacare/the Affordable Care Act will impact taxes, to help customers apply for exemptions or get enrolled for health coverage in 2015.
The Dana Point Chamber of Commerce will also welcome Liberty Tax with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Jan. 9 at 11:30 a.m.
Liberty Tax staff will be collecting donations for “Cells Phones for Soldiers” both Jan. 7 and Jan. 9. Since 2004, the charity has provided more than 181 million minutes of free talk time to servicemen and women stationed around the world. Funds raised from the recycling of cellular phones are used to purchase prepaid international calling cards.
Liberty Tax Service offers free direct deposit for refunds sent to customers’ bank accounts as well as electronic filing, or e-filing.
“It’s scary to think how much money people lose each year by incorrectly filing their taxes or having their taxes prepared by someone who isn’t certified,” Dunn said in a grand opening announcement. “To make sure our customers are receiving the greatest possible refund, we have assembled a highly-skilled team that has earned the IRS tax preparation certification and meets the top educational requirements set by Liberty Tax Service. We encourage those who feel they might have lost out on funds last year to stop by and we’ll check their tax return for free.”
Tax season hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
