Help on filing income taxes is available again this year at the VITA tax site, located at the Family Neighborhood Literacy Center, 706 Orchard St., Carthage., for low to medium income persons.
The Carthage VITA site will open Feb. 4 and will prepare returns on Saturdays 10 a.m. To 2 p.m. Until the end of tax season (except March 17). Returns will be prepared by volunteers and will be electronically filed at no charge. Direct deposit to a bank account can be arranged. Appointments will be taken by calling the Literacy Center at 358-5926 on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday mornings.
Federal and state income taxes will be prepared. A federal return should be prepared before the state return, as information from the federal return is needed to complete the state return. For those participating, if Missouri Property Tax is needed to be filed only, it will be prepared.
Taxpayers should bring picture identfication, social security cards for all persons listed on the return, and all documents needed to prepare their return: such as W-2 forms from employment, 1099INT forms from interest earned, 1099DIV forms from dividends earned, 1099R forms from retirement income, 1099Misc for self employment, SSA1099 forms from social security. All income must be reported on returns. Providers of 1099 may not send the information until Feb. 15.
The Carthage VITA tax site is a facility of the SWMO We Care Coalition with volunteers trained by the IRS, which also provides the computer program. Family Literacy Center donates the space and computer usage. Missouri Southern State University hosts the training sessions. The site is coordinated by Marie Dame.
