AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Volunteers Providing Free In-Person Tax Preparation for Area Residents

Monday, January 20th, 2025 -- 10:01 AM

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.

You need not be an AARP member to use this service. 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. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers CAN NOT prepare complex tax returns.

These include Married Filing Separately, bankruptcy or divorce in 2024, residential rental income/depreciation, farm income, business income with employees, inventory or depreciation, cancellation of debt (except for a personal credit card), virtual currencies, most K1 schedules and other complex returns. 

Appointments will be scheduled in Marshfield every Monday from noon until 5 PM and Wednesdays from 9 AM till 2 PM starting February 10 and ending April 9.

After January 2, you can schedule an appointment in Marshfield by calling 2-1-1 or 1-877-947-2211. After you make an appointment, a reminder card will be mailed to the address you provide, with a list of documents to bring to the appointment.

You can also access a recommended list at https://www.aarp.org/money/taxes/info-01-2011/important-tax-documents.
