Filing your income taxes at the beginning of each year can
be exciting, that is, if you are lucky enough to give your bank account a
little boost by receiving a refund from the federal and/or state government.
Tax time can also give you a headache. And with the recent political issues,
such as, the fiscal cliff, attempting to save yourself some extra money by
filing your own taxes, can become quite confusing. This Spring will mark fifth
year volunteers will be offering their services and time to help individuals
prepare their personal income taxes free of charge.
Almost every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from February
11, 2013, to April 10, 2013, trained volunteers will assist senior citizens
with filing their homestead credit and also help individuals with an annual
gross income less than $58,000 a year file their state and federal income
taxes. Volunteers are able to assist with personal income taxes only. They are unable
to prepare farm or rental income, health savings account deduction, etc.
