Taxpayer warns of risks with volunteer tax prep in Havelock
Dora Morrison, 78, of Havelock learned a costly lesson after a volunteer from AARP incorrectly prepared her return, claiming she owed 359.75 instead of 98. Her case underscores the taxpayer’s responsibility for accuracy, the need to verify entries, and to seek professional help if errors arise. The IRS notes head of household status and son living at home can affect liability, while electronic filing reduces error rates.

Doctor search drags on at Vanceboro clinic Craven Regional
Craven Regional Medical Center continues a long effort to hire two full time family practice physicians for the Vanceboro Medical Center. Since purchasing the facility in December 1992 the clinic has operated mostly with temporary doctors. The first quarter of 1994-95 shows a $211000 deficit, worsened by a $117000 life insurance premium after Dr. Charles Daniel Ogle's accidental death. The hospital aims to keep the clinic open, serving about 13000 patients yearly, and negotiates with a prospective doctor while stressing the center is a needed referral site for Craven County.
