Tax Year 2023 Model of Operation: IN-PERSON  In this model a tax counselor will conduct an in-take interview with the taxpayer(s) while reviewing the taxpayer's completed intake form and tax documents.  The counselor will then prepare the initial tax return.  A second counselor will independently review the tax return and review the return with the taxpayer(s).  If the taxpayer(s) would like to then have the return submitted, they will authorize Tax-Aide to submit the return to the IRS and will be provided with a copy of the return.
