Free Tax Preparation Services for Taxpayers of All Ages and Income
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide - Thurston county, Washington
Our Volunteers are Trained and IRS Certified. We can E-File Your Federal Income Tax Return and Make Sure You Claim the Tax Refund, Credits, and Deductions You Have Earned.
We Are Closed Until the 2025 Tax Season
All AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Sites in Thurston County are currently closed. Our volunteer Tax Counselors are not available until the 2025 Tax Season to help taxpayers file their Federal Individual Income Tax Returns or to apply for the Washington State Working Families Tax Credit.
We will reopen our Tax-Aide sites for the 2025 Tax Season in late January or early February 2025. If you would like notice when we reopen, you should subscribe to our Annual Newsletter.
If you need assistance before then, your options are limited. You can (1) visit the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Online Tax Assistance webpage where you can Submit a Request for Tax Help; (2) look into preparing and e-filing your own tax return through the IRS Direct or IRS Free File Program for households whose Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is $79,000 or less; or (3) seek help from a paid tax preparer. The IRS has guidance on selecting a paid tax preparer and a directory for finding one on this webpage.
No matter your income, any taxpayer can apply for an automatic extension of time to file their tax return using IRS Free File. This will give you until October 15 to file your return. To get the extension, you must estimate your tax liability and should pay any amount due as soon as possible to avoid additional failure-to-pay penalties and interest on any taxes owed. To learn more, you may want to review IRS Topic No. 653, IRS Notices and Bills, Penalties, and Interest Charges.
