THURSDAY, January 31 5:30 p.m. – 14th Annual Past Royalty Mixer and Dinner (Red Fox Restaurant, $), call 891-1286 for reservations

Free personal tax computation and filing is being offered again this year by local American Association of Retired People volunteers. “We expect to begin about the end of January,” said Carol Pinney, one of the preparers. There is absolutely no charge for service which is located at the Lake Placid Public Library. It is available to everyone regardless of age or income.

Anyone wishing to use the AARP program should call the library at 523.3200 and leave their name. A representative of the organization will call back to set a time and date and instructions on what information to bring.

The tax preparers are fully recertified each year to keep up with the ever-changing federal and state tax laws. The returns are submitted by email, which is the method preferred by the IRS, and taxpayers receive a folder containing hard copies for their files.
