Once again Cook County VITA/TCE tax assistance volunteers are ready to help low- and moderate-income folks and all folks 60 or over with their individual income tax returns.
In Person Hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. every Tuesday from Feb. 7th through April 18th at the Cook County Community Center main room at 315 West 5th Street in Grand Marais, Minnesota. Assistance is on a first come first served basis – no appointments needed or taken.
We also have two additional sites in Cook County that are available for “drop off & pick up later” tax processing. These are at the Tofte Town Hall from 9:00 a.m. to Noon on Tuesdays during the tax season starting February 14th through April 18th and at the Grand Portage Post Office starting February 1st through April 14th during regular post office hours there. This option of dropping off your tax documents and picking up the finished returns later will also be available on Tuesdays in Grand Marais at the community center. Interviews will be done by phone for all “dropped off” tax returns.
Bring all your tax documents, social security cards for all in your household to be listed on the tax return and photo IDs for adults. You will be asked to do an intake form and our volunteers will do an interview and review your documents and, in most cases, we should be able to E-file your Federal and Minnesota tax returns. We also can process and E-file Minnesota homestead property tax refunds and rent refunds for those eligible.
This service is sponsored by the IRS and our volunteers undergo IRS approved tax training. These are members of your community that enjoy using their skills to assist others in our community and we hope to see you on a “Tax Tuesday” soon.
