The JAG Tax Advisory Program Has Been Discontinued
Many Fort Drum soldiers relied on the JAG Tax Advisory Program for free or low-cost tax help — but that program is no longer available. Do not let that leave you without expert guidance. Our firm is the trusted local alternative Fort Drum families have turned to for years. As a federally licensed Enrolled Agent, Tim is authorized by the IRS to prepare and represent tax returns in all 50 states — the same level of authority as a CPA, specifically for tax matters.

Military Tax Services We Specialize In

Tim Wewer is a federally licensed Enrolled Agent (EA) and Accredited Business Accountant (ABA) with years of experience serving Northern New York families, including the Fort Drum military community.

If you get an audit notice after filing with us, Tim handles it. You never face the IRS alone.
As the gold standard for federal tax credentials, Tim’s Enrolled Agent status means he passed a rigorous 3-part IRS Special Enrollment Exam covering every area of tax law — giving him more specialized and in-depth federal tax expertise than is required of CPAs.
