Rappahannock United Way (RUW) offers no-cost tax preparation services to eligible taxpayers in Caroline, Fredericksburg, King George, Spotsylvania, and Stafford.
Taxpayers who made $64,000 or less in 2016 are eligible for free full-service returns, coached returns, or free online filing.
IRS-certified volunteers are on hand at Rappahannock United Way’s eight free tax sites, located throughout the greater Fredericksburg area. The locations and their hours are listed online. In addition, the calendar is attached to this story for download.
Tax sites open in late January and run through April 15. Not all sites are open all days.
Tax sites operate on a first come, first serve basis. RUW registers the last client one hour prior to closing.
