Great Alaskan Accounting People, UAF's accounting student club, will offer free tax preparation sessions on Saturdays through April 11 on the Fairbanks campus.

GAAP volunteers are IRS-certified to prepare basic tax returns for free. Sessions will be held in the Nook, Bunnell 319, from 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., on March 28, April 4 and April 11.

The volunteers ask people to bring the following items:

• Social Security cards or current SSN records for the tax filer and any spouse and dependents.


• W-2 forms (wage and tax statement) from each employer.


• All income information — e.g. forms 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, SSA-1099.


• Property tax and mortgage interest statements.


• List of medical expenses, interest, contributions and miscellaneous expenses (to itemize deductions).


•  Copies of last year's tax return.


• Child care payment information and name, address, and SSN and/or employer identification number of all child care providers.


• Bank routing and account numbers for direct deposit.
