Free tax preparation and filing starts February 1

Starting February 1, AARP Foundation will again provide free tax preparation and electronic filing in Shoreline. AARP-Tax-Aide is totally FREE; you do not need to be a member of AARP or a senior to use this service.

2014 tax returns reflect changes as the result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). And for those who did not have medical insurance coverage the entire year, or had purchased insurance through the Washington State Health Plan Exchange, there will be some new tax forms to deal with when filing their 2014 tax returns. AARP-Tax-Aide will have tax counselors who are trained to help tackle your ACA tax return questions.

Whether you are a working or retired individual, AARP’s IRS tax-certified volunteer preparers can handle your tax returns. In addition to earned and retirement income reporting, they can help you with your investment income (interests, dividends, and capital gains for Schedule D), Schedule C for individuals with small businesses that have less than $10,000 in annual expenses, and various education, child and earned income credits.

Here are the Shoreline area tax preparation sites and operating details. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offered in conjunction with the IRS.
