WEST JORDAN, UT--(Marketwired - January 29, 2016) - As it has for the past three years, Mountain America Credit Union is once again offering lower-cost tax services to the public for the 2016 tax season.

Fees can be up to 30% cheaper than most retail tax preparation firms; Mountain America also offers no-obligation consultations. No appointment is necessary, a drop-off option is available, and free e-filing is offered with preparation of a return.
