Staff Report
Free assistance with income tax preparation is available through DSISD Community Services, which is sponsoring the local Tax-Aide program, located at the Dripping Springs Independent School District Administration building at 510 West Mercer Street. Volunteers are available at this site at a new time – Thursdays Feb. 6 through April 9 (except during spring break) from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tax returns will be filed electronically. To make an appointment, call 512-858-0954 after Jan. 20.
The tax assistance group is part of the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program. Each year, the volunteers are trained and certified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Although AARP Foundation focuses on the needs of older taxpayers, the Tax-Aide program has no age limits. The local site will continue to provide assistance to taxpayers of all ages. Tax-Aide assistance is limited to returns within the scope of the Tax-Aide training.
