Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program
at Red River Valley Community Action runs from February to mid-April
each year. Volunteers are able to prepare basic tax
returns including a 1040A or 1040EZ form. Volunteers are NOT able
to prepare more involved returns which include pensions,
self-employment, or itemized deductions. For these more involved
returns please contact the AARP Tax Assistance Program at the GF or EGF
libraries and the GF Senior Center.
Beginning February 6, 2006, RRVCA will be offering
FREE tax preparation services to low-income households! In order to
qualify for free tax preparation, you must meet the following guidelines:
- Low-income
- Eligible to file a 1040A or 1040EZ return
(Check your 2004 tax return, if you have had no major changes in
income or status, you will most likely file using the same form)
- Able to make and keep a daytime appointment
- Have a current driver's license and Social
Security cards for all members of your household and be able to
bring them with you to the appointment
RRVCA will NOT be offering walk-in tax
appointments this tax season so please call early to make an
appointment. First come, first served. We will begin booking
appointments in January.
If you are interested in taxes and would like to
help provide this service, please contact Danielle at (701)
746-5431. Tax classes are provided FREE through the IRS and
volunteer hours are very flexible.
