Free 2010 tax prep and e-file at Edmonds College
01/21/2011
Every year, Edmonds College offers free income tax return preparation and e-filing to U.S. citizens and residents with incomes of less than $49,000. This service is sponsored by an IRS program called, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA). Volunteers are taught using IRS training guidelines and are IRS certified to provide confidential tax preparation to qualified taxpayers. Last year Edmonds College helped more than 350 campus and community members file their tax returns.
Confidential tax return preparation will be offered on a drop-in basis from Feb. 8-March 17 and again, April 5-13 in Mountlake Terrace Hall room 212, Edmonds College, 20000 68th Ave. W, Lynnwood. No tax preparation will be done during spring break, March 18-April 4.
Assistance in several languages will be available.
