Need Help with Your Income Taxes?

If you haven’t filed your income taxes yet, the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide site in Minot is ready to help middle- and low-income taxpayers complete their 2018 federal and state tax returns.

You do not have to be an AARP member to take advantage of this free service.
