The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program provides free federal and Virginia tax return preparation and e-filing from February 1 through April 15 by IRS-certified volunteers.
 
This program, with special attention to seniors, has no income limits, but clients are generally low and middle income taxpayers. No appointments are necessary but taxpayers need to bring: a photo ID; Social Security cards for themselves and dependents; a copy of last year's tax returns (even if taxes were done at the site the prior year) and all tax documents they have received including but not limited to W-2s, Social Security benefit statements, 1099 interest, dividend, and pension/IRA statements, brokers' statements, and W-2Gs for gambling winnings.
 
Self-employed individuals should bring information about the earnings and expenses of their businesses. Documents and records concerning outlays such as mortgage interest, real estate tax, personal property tax, medical expenses, and charitable contributions are also necessary for those who itemize deductions. Direct deposit of refunds and direct debit of taxes owed require the bank routing number and the taxpayer's account number.

Every can counts! Help "stuff the bus" at grocery stores throughout Fairfax County. As holiday decorations come down and winter months settle in, most food pantries' supplies run very low. To help, Fairfax County partners with local nonprofit food pantries, grocery stores, and MV transportation to "Stuff the Bus."

From mid-January to mid-February, Stuff the Bus will visit different local grocery stores where volunteers from local nonprofit food pantries will collect donated food. 100% of the donated food goes to the pantries.

For more information and a complete list of collection dates and locations throughout the County, visit  https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/neighborhood-community-services/stuff-the-bus.
