The United Way for Southeastern Michigan's Regional Asset Building Coalition is offering free tax preparation assistance to low-income individuals and families.

Three tax assistance sites are open, through April 10, in Pontiac at the following locations:

  • Accounting Aid Society at Lighthouse Community Development, 46156 Woodward Ave. Hours: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Closed on April 3. E-File available by appointment only. Call 248-920-6200.

  • Accounting Aid Society at Oakland Livingston Human Service Human Service Agency, 196 Caesar Chavez. Hours: 5 to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays; 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. E-File available in February only.

In addition, the coalition, in partnership with the Wal-Mart Foundation, provides a online tool for individuals who earned less than $58,000 in 2009 to prepare and file state and federal income taxes themselves, free of charge. To access this tool, known as The Beehive, visit www.myfreetaxes.com/sem. An e-mail address is required to take advantage of this service.

For additional free tax preparation sites throughout metro Detroit or more information, visit www.michiganeic.org/freetaxprep or call United Way at 2-1-1 or 800-552-1183.
