IRS to offer tax filing assistance

The Internal Revenue Service’s taxpayer assistance centers will be open Saturday in Kansas and Missouri.

Taxpayers can get assistance preparing basic tax returns if they make less than $42,000. Assistance also will be provided about resolving tax issues, making account adjustments, accepting payments, establishing payment agreements, working with people who have a hard time paying, and providing tax forms and information about e-file.

The nearest IRS centers to Lawrence are in Topeka, 120 SE Sixth Ave., 4 Townsite Plaza, Suite 200; and in Mission, 5799 Broadmore.

The offices will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. On weekdays they are usually open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
