Combat Veterans Offered Free Local Help with IRS Problems
Joe Marelli, of Tax resolution Advocates, San Marcos, is one of more than 100 specialists helping returning combat veterans with tax problems.

The tax deadline has passed, but for deployed Marines and sailors, filing in time or correctly can be impossible. American Society of Tax Problem Solvers will offer assistance to returning combat veterans who face problems with the IRS.
“Combat veterans have had enough to deal with, without having to return home and face IRS problems on top of that,” society director Lawrence Lawler said in a release. “Our members are offering to represent the cases to help the returning combat veterans to get reestablished in society without concern for their ability to afford representation. IRS statistics show 1 in 15 taxpayers have some form of IRS problem, and we expect returning combat veterans to have similar incidences.”
The society's North County representative is Joe Marelli of Tax Resolution Advocates. He can be reached at 877-537-8948 or at 609 S. Twin Oaks Valley Rd, Suite 22 in San Marcos.
