A Winters Express Letter to the Editor
Residents of Winters and the surrounding communities are invited to sign up for free income tax preparation and electronic filing. This service is sponsored by AARP Tax Aide Foundation and is IRS approved. Tax preparation volunteers are certified annually so they are fully up-to-speed with current tax policies, both state and federal.
In prior years, this service was offered at the Winters Community Center. This year, our City Manager Kathleen Trepa approved the use of a City Hall conference room. This room will provide a more comfortable, more spacious environment for all. Appointments are required and there are two ways to get this done.
Option One: Please call 530-207-0055. This is a message line where you may leave your name and phone number and someone from AARP will call you back, ask a few basic questions, and arrange your appointment. You will never be asked to share your Social Security number over the phone.
Option Two: Visit this website yolotaxes.org, and follow the directions to schedule your appointment in Winters.
The available dates are Feb. 13, 20; March 6, 20, and April 3, 10. Each of these dates is a Monday. Tax preparation is offered in hour-long segments from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at bobpolky@gmail.com
