Tax Preparation Assistance Program
Tax appointments can be scheduled after January 15, 2027 and tax preparation will start February 1, 2027 and end April 15, 2027
Tax preparation is by appointment only (no walk-ins). Schedule your appointment online using the buttons for the site closest to you or call 888-227-7669.
Once your appointment is scheduled, you can pick up a tax preparation packet at the site of your appointment any tax preparation day prior to your appointment. If you pick up your packet in advance, please come to your appointment with the intake form filled out. If you don’t pick up your packet in advance or don’t have the intake form filled out, please arrive at your appointment site 15 minutes before your scheduled time.
If you live or worked outside of South Carolina or North Carolina or have income or withholdings from another state, you must call the local coordinator to make your appointment to ensure we have a certified counselor available for your other state filing. This will require two separate appointments.
EVERYONE on the tax return must show a social security card or SSA-1099 form. Taxpayer and spouse must show a government issued photo ID.
A bank routing number and account number are required for direct deposit of your refund. Bring your checkbook, document from your bank, or show information on your banking app.
Taxpayer and spouse, if filing jointly, must be present at the appointment. If this is not possible due to health issues, contact the local coordinator. If you have a power of attorney, special arrangements may be made.
If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, do it online or call the local coordinator for the site.
We can prepare most simple returns. Certain situations cannot be prepared including but not limited to: self-employed with an LLC or other complicating factors, hobby income or other activities not for profit, business with inventory such as eBay, complex capital gains or losses such as futures or options, complex dividend or interest statements such as foreign tax greater than $300, 1099-DA or certain digital asset transactions, complex K-1, rental property, sale of a house if not your personal residence, certain high-income situations.
