The following is a list of items you should bring when you visit an AARP Foundation Tax-Aide site for them to help you prepare your tax return(s): Previous year’s tax return(s); Social Security cards and/or ITIN notices/cards or other official documentation that show the taxpayer identification numbers for every individual on your return; Government-issued photo ID for each taxpayer; Checking or savings account information if you want to direct deposit any refund(s) or direct debit any amounts due; and Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) (for each individual if applicable).

For other locations throughout the Southern Tier, you can visit the AARP website at https://www.aarp.org/money/taxes/aarp_taxaide/.

Due to the lack of volunteers, the Apalachin Library has been closed for this season. Anyone interested in helping with the program can indicate their interest at the same website, https://www.aarp.org/money/taxes/aarp_taxaide/. The minimum commitment is about six hours a week from February through mid April in addition to some training time.

    I have had my taxes done at the Waverly for the past 6 years. I need a reservation for my taxes since Waverly is not open. Could you schedule me for Owego? I would greatly appreciate that. My cancer treatments will not be a problem. My phone is 607-565-2020

  5. Just checking in. We called for a appointment when the pennysaver listed the info.
    Hopefully we are on list to be called. We are retired and live near by, if you get a cancellation. We can be there w/i 10 minutes….Regards Lee and Linda Osborne
