AARP is offering tax help in Bay & Jackson Counties

Tax season is here and AARP’s Tax-Aide is ready to help. Trained volunteers visited the Panama City Beach Public Library Saturday for the first day of the program and are there again today. There are no income or age limitations to qualify for the free help and you do not need to be an AARP member. Since the state of Florida has no state income tax, they are only doing federal tax returns. Since 1968 this volunteer-based program has helped nearly 50 million low- to moderate-income taxpayers.

Below is the dates and times for this free, no charge whatsoever tax help.

~The PCB library site is opening 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Mondays and Saturdays until April 15. It is located at 12500 Hutchison Boulevard.

~Trinity Lutheran Church in Panama City is also a Tax-Aide site on Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. beginning February 6. It is located at 1001 W 11th Street. If you have questions, call (850) 532-0399.
