It’s that time again to start thinking about the 2013 tax filing season. DeKalb County Community Services will once again offer free tax preparation and filing assistance to low-income DeKalb County residents. Why go to a paid preparer when you can get the same service for free? The volunteers are certified tax preparers through the AARP VITA/ TCE programs.

Please call Jess Collins at 815-217-0192 beginning Monday, January 6, to schedule an appointment.  Tax Preparation Assistance Flyers 2014
