Trained volunteers will help those needing assistance with electronically filing Homestead Credit and/or State and Federal Income Taxes. This free tax preparation assistance program is aimed to help low- to moderate-income taxpayers have more discretionary income for everyday essentials, such as food and housing.
Tax preparation assistance is available by appointment only and will be held in the back of the United Way building. To schedule an appointment, please call Marshfield Area United Way at 715-384-9992 or email unitedway@tznet.com.
Tax preparation services are offered by AARP and Marshfield Area United Way. This free service is unable to prepare returns with farm income, depreciation (business or rental), married filing separately, bankruptcy or divorce in 2016, or other complex returns.

WHEAP assistance is a one-time payment during the heating season (October 1-May 15). The funding pays a portion of the heating costs, but the payment is not intended to cover the entire cost of heating a residence. The amount of the energy assistance benefit varies depending on a variety of factors, including the household's size, income, and energy costs. In most cases the energy assistance benefit is paid directly to the household energy supplier.
