Free Tax Help is Out There in Olmsted County
Once again the United Way of Olmsted County and AARP have joined forces to offer free tax help for area residents who need help.
There are four locations including 125 Live, Hawthorne Education Center, Salvation Army and the Stewartville Civic Center. If you do need help, you need to call and reserve a spot, but they fill up fast.
