Tax-Aide sites will not reopen due to safety concerns

The Tahoe Tax-Aide Team has determined that it will not re-open for this tax season. The health and safety of our site staff, volunteers and taxpayers is our top priority, and the decision not to re-open was made with everyone's protection in mind.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offering online options to assist taxpayers affected by the suspension of in-person services:

• A self-prep option, providing free access to software so you can prepare taxes on your own, is available at aarpfoundation.org/taxaide Click on the "Get Help With Tax Prep" link.

• If you would like help completing your own taxes, you can request the assistance of a volunteer to coach you through the process via phone or computer screen-sharing. Visit aarpfoundation.org/taxaide and click on the "Online Tax Assistance" link.

If you have received a letter from the IRS or California Franchise Tax Board or have a question on your completed return, please email Susan Sybert at susansybert@gmail.com.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. And a Big Thank you to all the media outlets that helped us get the word out during these unique and stressful times. Stay well!
