KALAMAZOO, Mich. — It’s income tax season! Yay!
(Read that with as much or as little sarcasm/excitement as you choose.)
It’s often an intimidating process and — if you need some help — it can be expensive. But it doesn’t have to be.
You might be able to take advantage of VITA – or Volunteer Income Tax Assistance!
The United Way of South Central Michigan is hosting a free event on Show Me the Money Day, January 26.
From 9–5 p.m., households making less than $64K/year will have access to a team of IRS-trained-and-certified volunteers, ready to get the most out of their returns.
Once your forms are filled out and your questions are answered, the return process can take as little as a few days.
Last year the VITA program helped 3,400 households— putting $5.6M back into the pockets of individuals and families.
Just call 211 to set up an appointment. Make sure you have your financial documents, receipts for any write-offs like donations or job expenses, and any other documents they may ask for.
The event is in Father Bart’s Hall at St. Mary’s Church in Kalamazoo.
Walk-ins are welcome, but they’re expecting to fill up fast, so expect to wait.
Still have questions? Call 877-337-1780.
