Don’t forget to make a free tax filing appointment

GOLDEN AGE FOUNDATION EVENTS

Over 300 federal and California state tax returns have been e-filed for Leisure World residents so far this year with the help of the Golden Age Foundation (GAF) and AARP.

The GAF has added two additional days on Thursdays, March 26, and April 9 for appointments.

IRS-certified volunteers will prepare and e-file tax returns for full-year California residents. Appointments are available every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m.-noon. Sign-ins and verification of forms will be held in Clubhouse 3 Lobby.

Appointments are required. People can call 562-596-1987 and leave their full name and telephone number. A volunteer will return the call to schedule an appointment.

The intake/interview sheet required for the appointment can be picked up at the LW Library and should be completed prior to the appointment. Note that individuals with rental property or a net loss from self employment are out-of-scope for this program.

••• GAF And Ralphs Rewards March 18 GAF Board volunteers will help residents sign up for the Ralphs Community Rewards Program in person on Wednesday, March 18, from 9-11 a.m. in the Clubhouse 6 Hospitality Center.

The Ralphs Community Contribution Program is an easy way for Leisure World residents to raise money for the GAF.

An account is needed to participate in the program. Once linked to a Ralphs Rewards card, each time a resident shops at a Ralphs grocery store, the GAF will receive a donation at no additional cost. Signing up takes at least 5-10 minutes to complete the transaction. People must bring their Ralphs membership card, email information, and a cell phone to receive a code for verification.
