The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and AARP Tax-Aide programs help prepare federal and state income tax and property tax refund returns. You may qualify for free tax preparation for your returns.
Most free tax preparations sites are open February 1 through April 15. Some sites stay open through October 15. Our search tool and interactive map is updated regularly to provide current site availability.
Services Update
Many free tax return preparation sites in Minnesota have limited services due to COVID-19. Use the Find a Free Tax Preparation Site tool on this page — or try our interactive map — to find open sites, hours, and contact information.
You may be able to file your own return online for free. To check if you qualify, see Free Electronic Filing.

You can generally get help at a VITA site if any of these apply:
- You are age 60 or older
- You are a person with a disability
- You speak limited or no English
- Your annual income is less than $57,000
AARP Tax-Aide sites do not have income or age restrictions. All sites only prepare basic returns. For help with complicated returns, consult a professional preparer.
Use the Find a Free Tax Preparation Site tool on this page to find sites based on your ZIP code or county. You can:
- Use the Language menu to find sites where help is available in Spanish, Hmong, Somali, or other languages
- Use the Military Certified checkbox if you're a military service member
Try our interactive map to search by your address. You can also zoom in and select sites on the map.
You must bring a picture ID and other personal information along with any records showing income you received, tax-deductible expenses, and property tax or rental payments you made. For more information, review these detailed lists.
- Review the site information before visiting. We get this information from organizations that provide the service, and their site hours and dates may change.
- Confirm the program (VITA or AARP Tax-Aide) in your search results as this may limit which sites you may use. Review "Who Qualifies for Free Tax Preparation."
- If you are a person with a disability, we encourage you to call the site directly to ask about site accessibility or request accommodations.
- If you cannot find a site near you, call 651-296-3781 or 1-800-652-9094 for assistance.
