Did you know you can get free help with your tax return? The AARP offers this service to anyone who needs it with a focus on elderly and low-income taxpayers. Help can be found at the Federal Courthouse at 220 East 5th Street in Moscow. This is the same building in which the Post Office is located. Just go around to the doors on the South side of the building on 5th Street. Be aware that since this is a Federal Courthouse; you will have to go through a metal detector at the door. So please leave your guns, knives, chainsaws, etc. at home.
When you come, please bring your social security card and cards for your spouse and dependents, last year’s tax return, all W-2’s, unemployment compensation statements, SSA 1099 if you receive Social Security, all 1099 forms (1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-B etc.) showing interest dividends, broker transactions, any 1099-MISC for miscellaneous income, 1099-R if you receive a pension, all forms indicating any federal or state income tax paid, all information on medical insurance premiums paid and receipts or canceled checks if itemizing deductions.
