Special to GUIDON

Due to ongoing COVID-19 risk mitigation measures, the Fort Leonard Wood Tax Center is closed for the remainder of tax season this year. However, filing a complete tax return is still required. Keeping the extended July 15 filing deadline in mind, the Legal Assistance Office has provided some useful tax filing resources to consider.
