The AARP Foundation is providing free tax help and electronic filing at several locations, including at the Northgate Branch Library, 10548 Fifth Ave. N.E.
You don’t have to be a member of AARP or a retiree to use the free service.
AARP’s IRS tax-certified volunteer preparers can handle most common tax returns for employed or retired individuals, which include earned and retirement income, investment income (Schedule D), and various education, child and earned income credits.
AARP Tax-Aide sites are not able to prepare returns with rental income or depreciation, but do prepare Schedule C for individuals with small businesses that have less than $10,000 in annual expenses. Taxpayers utilizing the free service can receive their tax refunds rather quickly as all AARP Tax-Aide sites will be using electronic filing.
Foreign students who need help with their 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843 can visit sites at the Northgate Library and Northeast Library for assistance.
For more information and to locate an AARP Foundation Tax-Aide site near you, visit www.aarp.org/findtaxhelp or call 1-888-AARPNOW (1-888-227-7669).
At Northgate tax help is available February 3 through April 14 on:
1 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Mondays
4 p.m. – 7 p.m. Wednesdays
