E-filing for FAST returns


International Institute Rhode Island is among eight participating sites to provide free tax preparation for qualifying families and individuals.  IRS Certified volunteers will be at the Institute every Wednesday from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm and on Saturdays from 9:00 am to noon by appointment only on a first come first serve basis.  Please call 401-461-5940 at the Institute to set up an appointment.
