Tax Aide

Our Tax Aide program helps folks take care of their taxes. While our trained volunteers prepare taxes, they search for tax credits that are available to low-income, working families. These credits often exceed the amount of taxes due, so many folks get money back. This money helps power the economies of Douglas and Josephine County.

Services

We can prepare both your federal and state tax returns. When we do so, we look to see what tax credits you can get to lower your taxes or add to your refund. We also e-file taxes so you get your refund quickly!

To Qualify

We offer this service mostly if you have an income below a certain amount. We offer the service to you whatever your age, and whether you are filing singly or jointly. We are only able to complete and file certain types of tax forms. To learn what tax forms we can prepare, please call us for more details. We offer this service if you live in Douglas or Josephine County.
