Thanks to our generous community supporters, we're busy prepping to kick off our annual
free tax service on Jan. 30!
This
is the fifth year we've offered free tax services, which
are completed by trained and certified volunteers as part of the
national Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, or VITA, program.
Individuals and families with an annual household income of $53,000
or less are eligible for the free assistance. You don't even have to live in Union County to qualify!
In
2015, our tax service volunteers filed an astonishing 279 income tax returns -- 121 more than last year. The service saved
residents an estimated $65,000 in tax preparation fees and got them
more than $360,000 in total refunds! Though Common Heart receives a
small federal grant for the program, we depend on donations from
the community to keep the free service.
“Our
free tax service helps take the stress out of tax time and allows our
hard-working neighbors to use the money they save on tax preparation
fees for other needs, like food, rent or medical bills,” Executive
Director Keith Adams said. “We serve people from all walks of life
– college students, teachers, hair stylists, retail staff, local
government employees and retirees.”
The
free service at 116 Business Park Drive, suite A in Indian Trail,
starts Saturday, Jan. 30 and is available by appointment only on
Tuesdays from 3 to 8 p.m., Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and
Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. through
April 15. To make an appointment, residents should call 704-684-9007.
Volunteer
Site Coordinator Susan Ochs, of Marvin, said as she approaches her
fourth year at the free tax service, she's eager to connect with new
and old friends.
“We
have a lot of people who come back from year to year and you kind of
get to know them. You sort of catch up,” she said. “For those who
we haven't served before, I want them to know that yes, it really is
free. There is no catch. We prepare state and federal taxes, e-file
them and they just have to sit back and wait for the return.”
Calif estimated tax payments I think this is an informative post and it is very useful and knowledgeable. therefore, I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article.
