The AARP Tax-Aide program provides free tax assistance and preparation through April 16.
You do not need to be a member of AARP or a retiree to use this service.
Tax law can often be confusing. AARP Tax-Aide volunteers can make the process of filling out tax returns easier. The volunteers have gone through a rigorous training program offered in conjunction with the Internal Revenue Service, and have the knowledge to prepare returns, taking advantage of all the many provisions of the tax code.
To receive help with your tax return, an appointment can be made locally at Mount Si Senior Center, 411 Main Avenue S., North Bend; Tel 425-888-3434 . This TaxAide site is open on Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. 3:30 p.m.  through April 13.
When you visit a Tax-Aide site, please bring a copy of last year’s return, all W-2 and 1099 forms including SSA-1099 for Social Security benefits paid, property tax records if applicable, all receipts and canceled checks if itemizing, Social Security cards for yourself and dependents, and if applicable, dependent care provider information including name, employer, and social security number.
