Students from the University of Kansas are now providing free tax preparation help to some residents.
Michael Keenan coordinates the annual event, and says taxpayers who make less than $51,000 a year, and have simple tax returns for tax year 2012 only, can get help preparing their tax returns. Keenan says they'll offer the service through April 15. For times and locations, visit http://www.law.ku.edu/vita.
