- Drop Off Service: You visit a Tax-Aide site and leave your tax documents with an IRS-certified volunteer. Your return is prepared by Tax-Aide volunteers working at the site or remotely.

Your federal and state returns are e-filed within 24 hours of you signing off on the return.
- Online Coaching: This is our Alternative Tax Preparation model where the taxpayer prepares their own return and can leverage support from an IRS-certified volunteer to help them along the way no matter where they are in the process.
