Tax help for seniors

Seniors can get free assistance with filing income tax returns from volunteer tax preparers in the AARP Tax-Aide Program from Feb. 4 through April 8 at the Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center, 305 W. Jackson Ave.

The assistance is by appointment only; appointments may be made by calling the Naperville Park District at (630) 848-3613.

People who register for tax assistance are asked to bring all necessary paperwork to their appointment. That includes: last year's tax return and tax records; photo ID for each adult who will be listed on the tax return; proof of Social Security number (i.e., Social Security card, Social Security 1099 form, or Medicare card) for each individual and dependent listed on the tax return; checking account routing number for direct deposit information; income documents, including W-2, 1099, etc.; information about tax-deductible items, including dependents, interest, real estate tax bill, state tax bill, charitable donation receipts.

Those who acquired health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act also must present Form 1095 showing proof of coverage.
