OU students to help prepare tax forms

Ottawa University accounting majors are again providing free tax preparation services to the public. Students will assist in preparing 1040A and 1040EZ forms, as well as state tax returns. The service is available from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday evenings through April 13 in the Vera Wise Technology Center.

This is the third year students, under the supervision of business department faculty, are providing tax assistance. Last year, OU helped provide returns for 103 people.
