Free Tax Assistance Offered Nationwide at Libraries, Community Centers

Tax season is in full swing, with various organizations across the U.S. offering free tax preparation services. In Pennsylvania, the Department of Revenue has introduced an online tool called Direct File, which allows approximately 2.1 million residents to file their federal and state tax returns at no cost. In Moorhead, local AARP volunteers are providing tax assistance, focusing on seniors and low-income individuals, with appointments filling up quickly. The Seattle Public Library is also collaborating with AARP and United Way to offer in-person tax help through mid-April, having already assisted thousands of taxpayers this season. All services emphasize accessibility for those with low to moderate incomes, ensuring that support is available for those who need it most. Community members are encouraged to check eligibility and make appointments early to secure assistance.
