Additional information

Just-A-Start's Tax Help Clinic is first-come, first-serve site, no appointment necessary. Our IRS-trained volunteers focus on maximizing tax credits and are trained to handle a variety of tax situations. Our in-person service consists of an intake/interview with the taxpayer and scanning documents. Once this is complete, the taxpayer can leave, and we will complete the tax return and finish everything up remotely through email.

WEARING A MASK TO THE PHYSICAL SITE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR USING THE SERVICE.

In addition to the physical site, Just-A-Start will be doing remote tax preparation through July 15th.
