AARP Self-Facilitated Tax Assistance

Every Friday, February 14–April 11, from 11 am–3 pm, AARP offers facilitated self-assistance (FSA) tax service at Vancouver Community Library. This service is intended for taxpayers with good computer skills, who feel they can prepare their own returns. Certified volunteers are available to assist you with set up and tax questions that are within their trained scope. Use TaxSlayer software on Tax-Aide computers to e-file for free, a federal return, any state return, and the Washington Working Family Tax Credit. Adjusted gross annual income must be less than $84,000. 

Available by walk-in (no later than 1:30 pm) or by appointment (reservation site will open in a new window). The FSA software is also available in Spanish.

Be sure to bring the following:

• Government issued photo ID for you and your spouse (driver’s license or passport)
• Social security cards or ITINs for any people listed on your return, including all dependents
• All of your 2024 tax documents
• Your 2023 tax return, if available
• A cell phone which has access to an email account

Volunteers cannot help you if you:

• sold/exchanged any digital assets in 2024 (OK if you just bought and held) 
• have a business with employees, inventory, net loss, total expenses over $35,000 or have income from a hobby
• want to file Married Filing Separately
• have any rental income other than from undeveloped land with no structures
• are filing a Part-Year Oregon Return (we file Non-resident and Full Year Resident Oregon returns only; no other states)
• are a student on an F1, J, M, or Q visa or a teacher or trainee on a J visa 
• have a bankruptcy or home foreclosure in 2024

Other complex situations exist which we may not be able to assist you with as well. Volunteers will review your materials for these situations at the site.
