               Have You Heard?

Community Action Agency will be providing Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) for low income families January through April 15 each year. Certified VITA volunteers will be preparing free Federal and State tax return preparation for eligible families and individuals with incomes averaging $40,000 or less. The returns are prepared using Internal Revenue Service approved online tax return preparation software and are also e-filed FREE OF CHARGE. VITA volunteers at CAASCC will be able to help eligible households prepare 1040EZ, 1040A and 1040 returns without itemizations.

Families with children ages 17 and younger may be eligible to claim Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC). These credits could boost household yearly incomes by as much as $6804. Families using the free VITA tax preparation services could save over $250 in fees. KEEP ALL OF YOUR REFUND AND GET YOUR TAXES PREPARED AND E-FILED FREE OF CHARGE!

There is also a Second Chance to claim The Economic Stimulus Payment for eligible people that did not file for the Economic Stimulus Payment. Over four million seniors, veterans and people with disabilities, as well as others who missed filling for the payment, will get a second chance to do so with what is called the Recovery Rebate Credit. Trained VITA volunteers will be ready to help those that need to file in order to get this credit!

Low income families and individuals are encouraged to call CAASCC with any questions about VITA, EITC and CTC or to make an appointment. A VITA volunteer will help you make your appointment and give you information on what documents and information you will need to have with you when you come for your FREE VITA tax preparation appointment.
