Free Tax Help - 2008 Tax-Aide and VITA sites

This program is designed to prepare basic tax returns for most low and middle income taxpayers, with an emphasis on senior citizens and disabled taxpayers. Sites are staffed by volunteers trained by the IRS to prepare basic tax returns. E-file means it’s fast, accurate AND it’s absolutely FREE.  Volunteers receive training on the Earned Income Credit and other personal tax credits.   If your income is below $39,783 you MAY qualify for an Earned Income Credit, up to $4,716.

*** You must file a 2007 tax return to receive the Economic Stimulus Payments.  To be eligible for this payment, you must have at least $3000 of earned income, Social Security benefits, or certain VA benefits.   If you had at $3,000 of qualifying income, you should file a tax return even if you are not required.

AARP TaxAide sites may offer priority service to taxpayers age 60 and older.

As all locations are staffed by volunteers using donated space, these dates and times may change.  To get the most current information, please call the Alaska 211 referral line by dialing 2-1-1, or
