POLSON — According to one taxpayer website, the average time an individual must work in order to pay off their tax debt is 42 days. The famous “1040” tax form is exactly one half of a work year of 2080 hrs. Ben Franklin wrote in 1789: “Our Constitution is in actual operation; everything appears to promise that it will last; but in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.”
Tax assistance by trained personnel is available for free at the Polson senior center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays through April 14. Call ahead for a shorter wait time. Bring your tax stuff.
I volunteered to deliver meals for a couple of days recently. The route had 12 deliveries covering 20 miles around Polson and a few in the “suburbs.” It took about 90 minutes. We have three routes run daily. I met some folks I have known for years, and some new ones too. They were glad to see me, not only for the food, but for a friendly howdy. Consider volunteering. Get on the “on call” list.
