Get help completing your taxes for FREE.
AARP Tax Assistance Program, in a joint effort with the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of the Aging and Disability Resource Center and Portage County Public Library, offers free tax preparation services for seniors and adults with disabilities. The program is supported locally by Sentry Insurance. Training and software materials are provided by the Internal Revenue Service.
Any senior or adult with a disability who only needs to file a Wisconsin Homestead Tax Credit return and needs assistance can work with the ADRC at Lincoln Center.
All other tax assistance requires an appointment made by contacting United Way’s 2-1-1 helpline.
You can check eligibility and schedule your appointment by dialing United Way’s 2-1-1 or (800) 922-5590 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
