Accounting Students to Offer Tax Filing Assistance

Accounting students in the Maine Business School at the University of Maine are offering free federal and state income tax filing assistance to the public, under the supervision of Steven Colburn, associate professor of accounting.

From Jan. 29 through April 10, except for the weeks of March 2 and March 9, free help sessions will be available 3:30–5 p.m. Thursdays, at 312 D.P. Corbett Business Building on campus, and from 10 a.m. to noon Fridays, at the Orono Public Library, 39 Pine St.

Filers are asked to bring all their tax information for 2014 and, if they have it, a copy of their 2013 return. All filers’ information will be treated confidentially. Colburn will review all tax returns before they are filed.
