INDIANAPOLIS -- It's that time of year again - tax season. It is loved by many and dreaded by others.
It requires you to gather all of your important documents, sometimes spend hours waiting for your taxes to be completed, and not to mention, the money forked over to have the service done.
For those looking for tax assistance, United Way of Central Indiana and AARP offer dozens of places around Indianapolis where you can file taxes free of charge for those who earned less than $65,000 in 2016.
Some services start Jan. 25, while others are offered in February.
