Tax season is here ... and help is on the way! Gwinnett Technical College is again partnering with AARP Tax-Aide to offer free income tax preparation and tax counseling for community residents and Gwinnett Tech students, faculty and staff.

Volunteers with AARP Tax-Aide will be on campus from Feb. 2 to April 17. Counseling and assistance will be available in the Busbee Center, Building 700, Room 2.102.
