  • Pacific Service Credit Union, 102 E. Nees Ave.

  • CSET Visalia, 312 NW Third Ave.

  • Sanger Library, 1812 Seventh St.



IRS officials recommend that taxpayers bring the following information:

  • Picture ID/identification document.
  • Social Security number verification for the filer, and if applicable, for the spouse and qualifying children. This can be a Social Security card or a letter/notice from Social Security or Veteran’s Administration reflecting the Social Security number.
  • Form 1099 from Social Security or Railroad Retirement Tier I benefits and/or a monthly benefits statement from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
  • If a 1099 is not available, a monthly statement and/or the amount of monthly benefits will suffice.
  • Proof of any other income, taxable or nontaxable, such as Forms W-2 or 1099.
  • Bank routing and account numbers if you want to choose direct deposit for your stimulus payment. (Direct deposit will speed up the receipt of your economic stimulus payment.)
