Aims Community College offers free tax preparation and e-filing assistance through the Tax Help Colorado program.
Free Tax Assistance and E-filing at Aims Community College Begins in February
January 21, 2026
Individuals and households with annual incomes of less than $70,000 in 2025 can participate at no cost and receive assistance from IRS-certified Aims students and community volunteers.
No appointment is required. Sites are operated on a first-come-first-served basis. There are three Aims locations ready to assist you:
- Greeley Campus - Cornerstone Building | Saturdays | February 7 - April 11 | 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
- The Greeley site is closed on March 14 and 21 for Spring Break.
- Fort Lupton Campus - Prairie Building | Fridays | February 6 - March 6 | 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
- Loveland Campus - Thursdays | February 5 - March 5 | 4:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Participants should bring the following documents to the tax preparation events:
- All W-2, 1099 and other income forms.
- Mortgage interest, daycare payments, college education expenses, charitable contributions, and any other tax-deductible expenses.
- Social Security cards or ITIN documents for all family members and a photo ID for the taxpayer
- Bank account number and routing number for direct deposit.
- Previous year’s tax return, if available.
In addition to providing community tax preparation services, Tax Help Colorado offers Aims students seeking careers in accounting and bookkeeping more training and experience before entering the workforce. Each fall, Aims students who volunteer with the program take a course that covers fundamental law and tax preparation. Students then take an IRS VITA exam that certifies them to prepare tax returns for others. They are then ready to assist the community with tax preparation in the spring.
Last year, Aims assisted 1,990 taxpayers and helped them receive more than $4.9 million in federal and state refunds. Learn more about Tax Help at Aims, aims.co/tax-help.
