Walk-in Tax Site Preparation in Moorhead

The Lakes & Prairies Tax Site is now open for walk-in appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00 pm.to 7:00 pm in our Moorhead offices.  We are located in the Clay County Family Service Center at 715 11th Street North, in Moorhead.  Services will also be available on Wednesday evening in February (same times and location) due to higher demand for assistance during the first full month of the tax season.

Those using this service are encouraged to visit our website and particularly to note the I.D. requirements -- including social security cards for all children and adults listed on the tax return.  Also, the website provides a "What-To-Bring" list and other valuable information.

The website also provides information on our other Tax Site locations in Hawley, Barnesville and Breckenridge.  These locations require an appointment and may be on different dates and different times.

As we enter this tax season, we are most grateful for the contribution of time and talent by local volunteers and staff who go the extra mile to make sure that Minnesotans get the help they need to get the tax credits and deductions they deserve!
