HOT TOPIC: Plenty of folks around the county are starting to think about filing their income tax … and hoping to get a return.
One of the great services we have in our community is the AARP income tax assistance program, which has been headed up by Mr. Gil Betts for several years. It really is a benefit for a lot of people; and remember, you don’t have to be a senior to take advantage.

- Fridays, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in Athens at the Trinity Valley Community College Liberal Arts Building, Lakeside Drive.
This service is provided by the AARP Foundation in cooperation with the IRS.
- The service is free.
- Taxpayers do not have to be elderly or members of AARP.
- Married taxpayers must both come to the site unless one is incapacitated.
Taxpayers should bring with them:
