GAF offers free tax help; appointments required

TAX SEASON

Leisure Worlders can receive free income tax services, thanks to a Golden Age Foundation-sponsored program through AARP. IRS-certified volunteers are preparing and e-filing tax returns for full-year California residents. The free services are provided Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings in the Knowledge and Learning Center in Clubhouse 3. Appointments are required. Call 562-596-1987 and leave a name and telephone number. A volunteer will call back to schedule the appointment.

The intake/interview sheet required for every appointment can be picked up at the Leisure World Library and completed prior to the appointment. Individuals with rental property or a net loss from self-employment are out of scope for this program.

GAF has a team of IRS-certified volunteers to help with tax returns.
