Getting Your Taxes Done For Free

Yes, it’s that time of year again – tax time!

You may be able to get your taxes prepared for free AND from a reputable source.

There’s help if you’re a senior or have a low to moderate income.

Go to www.IRS.gov to find information on the VITA program (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance), the TCE Program and AARP Tax-Aide.

There you can learn

  • If you qualify for the program
  • What to do bring to the meeting
  • Locations near you

You don’t have to be afraid to use these services. The tax preparers at these programs are certified volunteers who work under a qualified supervisor.  The location near me is at the local community college and is supervised by a CPA and Chair of the Accounting Department.

Each location will have different hours, so check before you make the trip. Some will take appointments and some are walk-in only.

If you qualify, you may save yourself a few hundred dollars. You’ll get the work done at no cost to yourself and a trained preparer can catch details that might net you a bigger return.
