This service is available on alternate Mondays from 8:00 am to 11:30 am, commencing February 9, 2026. Services are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The scheduled dates include February 9 and 23, March 9 and 23, and April 6, 2026. This service is open to senior citizens as well as individuals with low to moderate income.
Attendees are required to bring their previous year’s tax return, along with actual Social Security cards for all individuals listed on the return (a Social Security statement with pink stripes is acceptable). Additionally, a valid government-issued photograph ID (such as a driver’s license or passport) is necessary for both yourself and your spouse. For joint filings, both spouses must be present to sign the return. It is also essential to bring all relevant tax documents for 2025, including last year’s tax return, W-2s, 1099s, and 1095s.
