Contact: Carolyn Gonzales 277-5920 March 6, 2008 Tax Law Club Assists with Tax Returns The UNM School of Law’s Tax Law Club assists in tax preparation as part of AARP’s Tax-Aide program. Tax assistance takes place in the School of Law room 2424 Thursdays 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Fridays from noon to 6 p.m. from now until April 11. They will be closed for spring break, March 17-21. “We have arranged for volunteers who are certified through AARP’s Tax-Aide program to provide tax preparation services for free at the law school. Our site conforms to the guidelines of the other AARP Tax-Aide sites--we have no age or income requirements, however we primarily serve low- to middle-income taxpayers,” said Gabrielle Roybal, Tax Law Club member, adding that they cannot work with complex returns. Volunteers have been certified through VITA/TCE and e-file all returns they help prepare, both federal and New Mexico state returns. “ We have a walk-in site, so no appointments are necessary. We do ask that people come at least half an hour before our scheduled closing times because of the time it takes to complete and check a return. There is metered parking in front of the law school,” Roybal said. For more information, call the AARP information center at 830-3097. ### |
