AARP will not be sending any volunteers to Twinsburg this year due to the increased cost of mileage. Available sites include: Solon, Chagrin Falls, and the Stow-Munroe Falls Public Libraries.
Tax help available
A free tax service will be available to older residents and residents with low to middle incomes at Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library beginning Friday, February 1. This annual program is sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons, who work in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program to assure that the volunteers are knowledgeable about the special tax provisions for older people. The service will be available on Fridays from noon to 4 p.m. at the library through April 11. One-hour appointments may be scheduled by contacting the library at 330-688-3295. Bring with you a copy of last year’s tax return, social security card and picture ID. If a child is claimed as an exemption, you must show his or her social security card, no exceptions. Also bring any forms showing income you earned or pensions or social security paid to you, 1099 forms showing interest or dividends that your investments have earned and receipts or cancelled checks for income or property taxes you have paid or any contributions you have made to charities. Bring with you documentation of medical expenses. Please be aware that library staff are not permitted to give tax advice, answer questions on your taxes or fill out your form for you. However, they will help you locate books and the appropriate forms and publications to help you complete your tax return.
