Tax-Aide provides free tax return preparation in conjunction with the Internal Revenue Service, for people with uncomplicated federal and state income tax returns. As the first reader noted, participants must bring a hard copy of their tax year 2022 returns, tax year 2023 documents and other information. Full instructions are on the website.

This annual program is popular, and might not be able to serve everyone; walk-in service is first come, first served. Check the website for updates, as hours and locations are subject to change.

Mahalo

On Jan. 15 at 11:15 a.m., while traveling toward Waianae by the Fort Weaver Road exit, a flatbed truck lost two metal pipings from his flatbed. One flew to the left and one flew to the right, just in front of me. I hit one — it cracked my front bumper, but I was able to drive off to the right of the freeway. The piping blocked the freeway lane. One smart, brave, strong man, who was stopped, got out of his car, picked up this 40- to 50-pound metal piping and carried it off to the right side of the freeway, then just got in his car and drove away. You are a hero! The hundreds of cars that followed behind you will never know what you did to keep the traffic moving. Much, much Mahalo! — Kathleen, in the damaged red Subaru
