The Tax-Aide office will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays with walk-in service. No appointments will be taken and the number of people seen each day may be limited based on the number of volunteers available.
Clients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis and should be prepared to wait for the next available counselor.
Anyone wanting to file a tax return will need to bring a photo ID, social security cards for all individuals on the return, copies of all forms of income, amounts of deductible items such as charitable contributions, bank account and routing numbers for direct deposit of refunds and a copy of last year's tax return if it is available, the release said.
If clients are applying for a renter’s or homestead credit refund, the certificate of rent paid or 2025 property tax statement is also needed. If filing a joint return, both members of the couple should come in, added the release.
This free service is provided by the Bemidji Senior Center, the AARP Foundation, IRS and the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
