Waubonsee Community College, in partnership with Ladder Up, will offer free tax services at the college’s Aurora Downtown Campus, 18 S. River St. This service, available on a walk-in basis, is offered to households earning up to $60,000 or individuals earning up to $32,000 annually.

The sessions will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays, Jan. 28 through April 15. At these sessions, a trained volunteer tax preparer will prepare and electronically file federal and state income tax returns at no cost.

To check eligibility requirements and for a list of what documents to bring, visit goladderup.org. All participants must wear face masks to attend.

Waubonsee is part of a network of 11 locations led by Ladder Up that provides tax assistance to help clients secure the opportunities they need to move up the economic ladder.
