Dallas Public Library to offer free tax assistance at 18 locations
Dallas - The Dallas Public Library is partnering with AARP Tax-Aide and the IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program to offer free tax assistance starting Feb. 2 and continuing through April 15.
Services will be provided weekly at 18 library locations through April 15. Assistance is geared toward those with low-to-moderate income, disabled and elderly and persons with limited English speaking ability. People who need assistance in completing their tax returns should bring their W-2’s, last year’s tax return, Social Security cards for all dependents and a photo I.D.
“AARP and VITA volunteers are trained by the IRS to make the process less confusing and ensure that returns are completed accurately,” said Adult Services Administrator Jasmine Africawala. “Getting help from IRS-trained volunteers can also help people maximize their tax refund.”
