The program not only allows citizens to have their state and federal income tax returns filed for free, it gives them a chance to discuss their options one-on-one.

Appointments can be made starting Jan. 16 at 13 tax prep sites, including Tahlequah, Pryor, Westville, Stilwell, Sallisaw, Catoosa, Claremore, Jay, Salina, Muskogee, Vinita, Ochelata and Nowata. This year, walk-ins will also be accepted at the Tahlequah and Westville sites.
