Citizens can visit the Grants Pass branch of Josephine Community Library to receive help completing their federal and state taxes online for free.
The no-cost tax filing assistance is being provided by United Community Action Network (UCAN) volunteers from 3 to 7 p.m. on Thursdays and 1 to 4 p.m. on Fridays from February 8th through April 5th.
With an appointment, UCAN VITA volunteers will assist participants who wish to file their own taxes by setting up a profile with free TaxSlayer filing software -- some computer skills are required.
Alternatively, appointments can be scheduled with an in-person tax preparer to file on your behalf and no computer skills are required for this option. Walk-ins seeking forms and answers to tax-related questions will be accommodated as time allows.
The participant's tax returns should be simple such as job compensation, social security and retirement 1099s. The maximum annual income without social security must be less than $79,000 to participate in this program.
To make an appointment, citizens should call UCAN at (541)-223-9597. For more information about UCAN services, visit "ucancap.org."
