BOONE, N.C. — The Department of Accounting is operating a free tax help lab for Appalachian State University students, faculty and staff. The department is part of the university’s Walker College of Business.

The lab will be closed during the university’s spring break, March 5-9, 2018, and in the event the university is closed for inclement weather.
