TAX AIDE: Another good year in the books

TAX AIDE is a free tax information and preparation service staffed by volunteers in Coeur d’Alene, Rathdrum and Kellogg. This past tax season, TAX AIDE volunteers prepared over 4,500 returns for local residents, returning over $3 million to the local economy. The average adjusted gross income for these returns was about $37,000.

Special thanks go to our site sponsors, Lake City Center, Rathdrum Community Center, Kellogg’s office of the Panhandle Health District and the Dalton Gardens Church of Christ. Without these sponsors TAX AIDE would not be able to provide this free service. Thanks to the Idaho Department of Labor in Post Falls for providing training space. 

A huge thank you goes to the more than 80 volunteers who gave over 13,000 hours of their time to make the TAX AIDE program possible. If you’d like to be a part of this corps of TAX AIDE volunteers, call 208-665-7329 and leave a message. 

TAX AIDE is sponsored by AARP Foundation in cooperation with the IRS.
