Free tax help offered in Palestine

It's that time of the year when were are waiting for our W-2s to see if we are going to pay Uncle Sam or get money back on our taxes this year.

In Palestine, AARP Tax-Aide volunteers will be offering free tax return preparation starting Feb. 3 in Palestine.

AARP Tax-Aide volunteers will be available on Wednesdays and Fridays, Feb. 3 through April 14, at the Meals on Wheel of Palestine Senior Activity Center, 200 N. Church St.

All low- and medium-income taxpayers are welcome to participate in the free service.

Those wanting help should bring their 2008 tax return, all W2s and 1099s as well as Social Security and ITIN cards for each member of the family.
