Free tax help begins

Income tax time is here!! Free tax preparation is once again being offered at the senior center in Grand Coulee every Wednesday February 5 through April 8 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Volunteers trained in cooperation with the IRS will offer free help to taxpayers with low to middle incomes in preparing their federal income taxes. Special attention is given to those 60 and older. Free e-filing is also available.

Taxpayers should bring with them: a copy of last year’s tax return; Social Security cards or other official documentation showing social security numbers for themselves and all dependents and proofs of salary, interest, pensions, Social Security, or any other sources of income. For a faster refund, bring a sample check so a refund can be direct deposited into your bank account.
