AARP Foundation’s Tax-Aide Program for Certain Marshfield Residents

Tuesday, January 16th, 2024 -- 1:01 PM

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers will be providing FREE in-person tax preparation to area residents, with a focus on taxpayers who are over 50 and people who have low to moderate income. 

For 2023, single people with income over $13,850 ($15,700 if over age 65) and married filing jointly families with income over $27,700 ($29,200-31,700 if over 65) must file federal and state income tax returns.

Those with incomes under $24,680 who live and own or rent a home in Wisconsin may also be eligible to file for Wisconsin Homestead Credit even if they do not have to file a federal or Wisconsin income tax return.

This free program is funded by AARP Foundation and the Internal Revenue Service and supported locally by Marshfield Parks and Recreation Department, Marshfield Area United Way, and 211 of South Wood & Adams Counties. Local volunteers, who are trained and IRS-certified, will prepare and then electronically file Federal, Wisconsin and Homestead Credit tax returns.

I spoke with Ed Korlesky, Local Coordinator for the AARP Tax Aid Program in Marshfield, and he discussed the program in more detail including what you need to bring and when appointments are held.

Expect the appointment to talk about 90 minutes and walk-in appointments will not be accepted.
