starting in February. Appointments can be scheduled directly by calling 530-324-5007
beginning January 11. The Senior Center building remains closed, but Tax-Aide volunteers will
be on site on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., through April 14 to scan tax
materials for contactless appointments. Taxpayers will bring their ID and intake booklets/
permissions. They will also need to have all tax documents completed and assembled when
they arrive. Volunteers will scan the documents while the taxpayer waits. A counselor will conduct a
telephone interview and then prepare the return. The taxpayer will come back to sign and pick up a copy of
the completed return.
Holiday Closures
The Senior Center administrative office will be closed December 24 - January 1. Beginning January 4 we will
