The Isabella County Commission on Aging is working again with the AARP Tax-Aide program to assist area citizens by providing free income tax preparation with free e-filing available. This service is provided to low and middle income taxpayers, with special attention to those 60 and older. Appointments for all sites except Winchester Towers, Dover Court, and Riverview must be made by calling the Commission on Aging. Residents of Winchester, Dover Court, and Riverview should call their building office.
The volunteers at these tax clinics will be handling Federal and Michigan tax returns that are within the scope of their training, as well as Homestead Property Tax and Home Heating credits. Volunteers have to pass an IRS test before they can prepare returns. People who are self employed, have rental property, large numbers of stock transactions or have sold property (other than their main home) should consult a paid professional tax preparer.
The following dates, places and times are for free tax preparation by appointment only.
