Live Well, Age Wisely: Discounts and Money Savers with Prairie Five…
Did you know that Prairie Five offers tax preparation services? We have tax clinics available in several locations in the five counties we cover (Big Stone, Chippewa, Lac qui Parle, Swift, Yellow Medicine) provided through our partnership with the Internal Revenue Service’s VITA program. VITA is the IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, and the initiative was designed to support free tax preparation services. If your annual income is less than $84,000 (with wages paid by an employer; self-employment of less than $10,000 only), then you qualify for this free service. Tax services are available by appointment only and while there are still spots available, I’d suggest calling the Tax Clinic Line at 320-226-8118 soon to get yours reserved.
