Notice

Seniors are asked to make an appointment at one of the locations listed below and bring all of the following documents:
- Completed copy of 2018 tax returns, both Federal and State.
- All 2019 forms that show income information (wages, salary, interest, dividends, sale of home, pensions, IRA distributions, state tax refunds, etc.), normally labeled W-2 and 1099.
- Any bank statements showing taxes and mortgage interest paid, broker's statement of stock sales, etc.

- All records of estimated tax payments.
- All Federal and State tax packets received in the mail that have your address label attached.
