If you are one of the many Hudson Valley residents who need help with your tax return, free tax preparation is available from AARP Foundation Tax-Aide’s IRS trained and certified volunteers through the Hudson Valley CA$H Coalition. With the addition of several new tax preparation sites in Dutchess and Orange counties last year, 7,655 residents of Dutchess and Orange counties – an increase of more than 500 individuals – received help preparing and filing their taxes.
