Free Tax Preparation for Seniors and Others
Hawai‘i seniors and other community members who need expert assistance with preparing their 2017 tax returns by the Tuesday, April 17, 2018, federal tax deadline have two Catholic Charities Hawai‘i (CCH) locations available to them, thanks to the collaborative efforts of CCH and AARP Foundation Tax-Aide.
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, the nation’s largest free tax assistance and preparation service, will provide free tax assistance and preparation to Hawai‘i taxpayers with low to moderate incomes, with special attention to people 60 and older.
