Tax season is here, and Scottsdale Community College is offering free, basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing for the community.
Eligible participants include those generally with annual income less than $69,000, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and limited English-speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own returns.
An IRS-certified volunteer will be available to meet on the SCC campus from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays (February 2 to April 15, 2026) and 9:00 a.m. to noon on Saturdays (February 7 to April 11, 2026) in the Business Building (BUS), Room 103. Appointments are required, and the location is 9000 E. Chaparral Road, Scottsdale.
All volunteer tax preparers are certified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as part of the U.S. government’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
Dr. Bill Wyngaard oversees the free tax preparation services. He is also a Residential Faculty at SCC, directing the Enrolled Agent program and courses. “Preparing one’s own tax return can be time-consuming, and many people simply need additional assistance to do it correctly,” he said. “SCC is a natural fit to perform this activity given the instructional expertise we deliver to students seeking a career as enrolled agents and IRS authorization.”
