FREE TAX HELP

The Financial Stability Partnership has joined with the long-standing free tax preparation services provided by AARP Tax-Aide Program, The Salvation Army, and the Senior Center, as well as the Internal Revenue Service and the Minnesota Department of Revenue to promote free tax preparation in Olmsted County. There are three AARP Tax-Aide sites in Olmsted County that provide free tax preparation.

IRS-Certified VITA/TCE Volunteer Tax Preparers with the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program will prepare your taxes for FREE if you are an individual or family with low-to moderate income.

 
Beginning in January, call one of the free tax sites below for more information or to make a FREE tax appointment.

Advance the common good by helping eligible Olmsted County wage earners receive quality tax preparation and wealth-building opportunities to start them on the road to financial stability and to strengthen the economy of our Olmsted County community.

Advancing the Common Good 2015
