Standing Room Only Crowds At Lawton Tax Office
A standing room only crowd gathered outside the Lawton federal income tax office as taxpayers sought help. About 65 people were assisted in the first two hours, with a long line still forming. The office operates 8 a.m. to noon on Mondays in the Post Office building, while staff handle field work at other times. Farmers largely missed the Jan 15 estimated tax filing and face Feb 15 penalties, with individual returns due by April 15 and corporations by March 15. Officials note the situation is better than in past years, though staff juggle questions on exemptions amid marital splits and deductions for uniforms, including rules requiring names or exclusive work use.
