The Tax Center at Fort Gordon offers free tax preparation for military personnel, their dependants, and retirees. AIT students have priority. Saturday services are intended for those individuals unavailable during the week due to work or family obligations. In order to fully assist clients, they request you arrive no later than one (1) hour prior to closing. Thank you for your understanding.
The Fort Gordon Tax Center proudly served over 4,500 members of the Fort Gordon Community during the 2017 tax filing system and saved them over $650,000 in tax preparation fees. They appreciate your patronage and look forward to serving you this year!
