Free income-tax help offered

Low- and middle-income earners can meet with American Assn. of

Retired Persons’ trained counselors for help preparing their tax

returns.

The free service is available to people 18 and older, with special

attention to people older than 50. Counselors are prepared to help

electronically file federal and local forms.

Income reported cannot be from a business, rental property or

partnership. People should bring tax booklets and forms, income,

deduction and credit information and a copy of last year’s return.

The service is available by appointment from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays

until April 15. To schedule an appointment, call 953-4487. Tax

services are offered at Providence Health Center, 3413 W. Pacific

Ave., Conference Room 104.
