The Department of Accounting operates a Free Tax Help Lab for Appalachian State University students, faculty, and staff.
Get Started
The income tax returns will be e-filed for free using TaxSlayer software, allowing you to file state and/or federal returns at taxslayer.com electronically.
This link is available to all App State employees, students, and alumni, and it may also be shared with friends and family.
Please note that the income limitation is $84,000; no free tax software will allow those whose earnings exceed this amount to file electronically.
Get Onsite Help
If you need help, drop into the Free Tax Help Lab in Peacock Hall on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:00 -7:00 pm., now through April 15, 2025.
Free Tax Help Lab
Mondays and Wednesdays
5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Peacock Hall Room 2013
The lab will be closed during Spring break and whenever the University closes due to weather.
IRS-trained volunteers can answer your tax questions and help you prepare and e-file your own federal and state income tax returns.
Participants should bring their 2024 documents (W-2s, 1099s, 1098-T, etc.) and have a bank routing and account number for direct deposit of refunds. For those new to TaxSlayer, please also bring a copy of your last tax return.
