Free 2012 tax prep and e-file at Edmonds College
01/10/2013
Every year, Edmonds College offers free income tax return preparation and e-filing
to U.S. citizens and residents. This service is sponsored by an IRS program called
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA).
Confidential tax return preparation will be offered on a drop-in basis Feb. 5-March
15 and again April 2-12 in Mountlake Terrace Hall 212. No tax preparation will be
done during spring break, March 16-April 2. Assistance in several languages will be
available.
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 500 campus and community members file their tax returns.
