A preparation site also is available at Guadalupe Town Hall, 9241 S. Avenida del Yaqui. The Guadalupe site is open every Saturday from January 26 through April 12 (except March 22) from 9 a.m. to noon. Both sites provide Spanish translators and are accessible for people with disabilities.

    Trained volunteer tax preparers certified by the IRS will provide free tax preparation and electronic filing for individuals earning $35,000 or less per year and couples making $55,000 or less per year. With electronic filing and direct deposit, taxpayers can expect refunds within 7-10 working days.

    For the first time, taxpayers can split their refund and deposit it into more than one bank account. To split a refund, taxpayers need to bring their account numbers and bank routing numbers. Other items taxpayers must bring include:

    • W-2 forms from every place you worked in 2007

    • 1099 forms, if applicable

    • Social Security cards for yourself and all dependents

    • Picture identification

    • A copy of last year’s tax return

    • Information for all deductions and credits
