Mount Vernon Lee Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting for this new business on Wednesday, Jan. 7. Lady Liberty was on hand to pass out refreshments and tax advice.

“We figure this tax season could be stressful for our community, with the Affordable Care Act, and other changes,” said Darryl Pryor, owner. “So we thought a party was the perfect antidote. We also have some important information to share about health insurance and taxes.”

This year is the first in which the health care law will have tax implications. Those who did not have health insurance in 2014 could owe a penalty when they file their taxes. Liberty Tax Service can help taxpayers understand the law and how it will affect their taxes. Liberty can also help individuals apply for coverage exemptions or enroll in health insurance for 2015.

The office is owned and operated by Darryl J. Pryor. A 20-year veteran of the United States Air Force, with an addition 10 years as a Department of Defense civilian and private industry professional, Darryl has always had a passion for assisting others in the community, and this is just one stream of assistance he and his wife, Alicia, offer.
