Parks & Recreation is offering assistance filing individual taxes to area seniors with help from AARP.  Residents do not need to be AARP members to receive help, and there is no fee to participate.

Tax assistance is available on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. – 12 noon beginning February 13th.  Appointments last 45 minutes and must be made in advance.  Call 689-8484 to make an appointment at the Neil Road Recreation Center located at 3925 Neil Road in South Reno. 

The AARP Tax-Aide Program is a volunteer-run, free tax-preparation and assistance service offered to low- and middle-income taxpayers with special attention to those age 60 and older. AARP volunteers are trained and IRS-certified to understand individual federal-tax issues.  

AARP volunteers provide tax assistance as a public service and cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided. Because the financial information is provided by the taxpayer, the taxpayer is solely responsible for the correctness of the information provided. Each return is checked three times before it is checked by the IRS and accepted electronically. 

For more information or to schedule an appointment call 775-689-8484.
