Tax help available at VRC
Several tax experts will offer assistance from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Valley River Center.
Experts from the Oregon Department of Revenue, representatives from the Internal Revenue Service and volunteers from the American Association of Retired Persons will aid tax payers with simple federal and state tax return preparation questions.
Computers will be available for immediate online filing, and federal and state tax forms will also be available. People planning to file online should bring photo identification, Social Security cards, tax booklets, income and interest statements and copies of their 2000 tax returns. For joint filing, both spouses must be present to sign the required forms.
Spanish-speaking representatives will also attend.
Those with questions should bring copies of their W2 and 1099 forms, as well as any other relevant tax information.
