On Tuesday, March 18, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, IRS-certified tax professionals will be at Ellenwood Center to assist eligible individuals with filing their state and federal tax returns—at no cost!
To qualify, residents must:
✔ Live in Bedford (non-residents may register starting March 13, space permitting)
✔ Earn less than $67,000 per year
✔ Not have rental income
✔ Not file business loss or paid employee taxes

Failure to bring all required documents may delay processing or result in a forfeited appointment.
