Tax Preparation Assistance
Beginning in mid-February 2008, there will be free tax preparation assistance provided at the Plymouth Council on Aging (not at the library). The program is open to anyone (not just the elderly) and it is free. However, they do restrict the types of returns they will complete; for instance, taxpayers with rental income, or who day-trade in the stock market, or run a business with more than 1 employee are ineligible. To make an appointment for this assistance or for additional information please contact the Council on Aging at 508-830-4230.
