The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people who generally make $66,000 or less, persons with disabilities and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers who have undergone a background check will provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals.
In 2020, the Community Library will offer this free, walk-in tax preparation assistance. Volunteers will be available to provide one-on-one aid in preparing tax returns, supporting low-income residents through the filing process to ensure all eligible credits are claimed.
When: Saturdays from February 1 to April 11*, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Where: The Community Library Learning Commons
