Oregon agencies team up to offer free tax help
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Oregon taxpayers can get free help filing their federal and state income tax returns at WorkSource Oregon centers across the state this February and March.
WorkSource Oregon and the Oregon Department of Revenue are partnering to provide in-person assistance at six locations.
The first event is Wednesday, Feb. 18, at the WorkSource center in Woodburn. Additional events will take place in Hillsboro, Eugene, Southeast Portland, Lebanon and Bend, with each event running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Bend event is on March 25 at the WorkSource Oregon – Bend center on SW Emkay Drive. Volunteers from the Department of Revenue will be available to help guide taxpayers through the online filing process using free public-access computers and Wi-Fi.
Officials say the goal is to make tax season easier for Oregonians and help them claim credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Oregon Kids Credit.
To prepare, taxpayers are encouraged to set up a Revenue Online account and bring key documents, including W-2s, 1099 forms and last year’s tax return.
More information, including the full schedule and locations, is available at worksourceoregon.org or on the Department of Revenue website at oregon.gov/dor.
