Salve Regina accounting students, in cooperation with AARP (American Association of Retired Persons), will offer free tax preparation assistance to any individual or family earning less than $53,000 annually on Wednesdays from 12:15 to 4:15pm until April 15 in McKillop Library.

Under the guidance of Paul McKillop, senior lecturer in the Department of Business Studies and Economics and a certified public accountant, the students have achieved advanced AARP certification necessary to prepare tax returns.

Once the returns – both federal and state – are reviewed by the AARP controller, they will be e-filed. Open to the University community and the general public, the service is being provided on a first come, first served basis.

Those who are interested should bring the following:

  • Social security card for self, spouse and all dependents (if applicable)
  • Photo ID for self and spouse (if applicable)
  • All 2019 W-2, 1099 and 1095-A forms
  • Copy of 2018 federal tax return, if available
  • Tax identification number (SSN or EIN) of any child care provider

If there are any questions, direct them to Paul McKillop at mckillip@salve.edu.
