Filling out an income tax return_
is a frustrating job for anyone but
it can-be especially bothersome to
a senior citizen. But this year,
thanks to a group of volunteers,
-senior citizens in• Seaforth and
area will get some free help at tax
time.
The Huron Volunteer .Bureau
organized a seminar last week,
with income' tax officials who
showed a number of volunteer
workers h ow to fill out others'
returns. These Volunteers will be
available, starting on Marth 2. in,
the lower library to'assist seniors,
who have incomes under $5000 in
filling out their returns.
- If, 'local senior citizens are
unable to get out to the library for
the tax h elp, the income tax
volunteers can come to their.
homes.
'Sinior citizens who want more
information about the .free income
tax help _can call the Huron
Volunteer Bureau at 482-3037.
