Tax Assistance
The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide will offer free tax preparation help at the Corvallis branch library Tuesday March 5th – Wednesday April 10th. It is available to anyone. If you’re 50 and older, and can’t afford tax preparation service, this program was made especially for you. Oregon and IRS (federal) income tax returns will be prepared and e-filed for you free of charge.
