Ransom District Library, 180 S. Sherman Ave., will host the Allegan County United Way on Thursday, March 23, as it continues its series of free tax help consultations.
At the events, IRS-certified volunteers will be available to help people who generally make $54,000 or less, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and limited- English-speaking taxpayers who need assistance preparing their tax returns.
United Way is publicizing that taxes can be filed for free through MyFreeTaxes.com powered by H&R Block.
Those who come to a location for help must have an email address and basic computer skills; the volunteers will help with the rest—no tax knowledge is required.
Help will be available from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Those who can’t make it to this or other events are encouraged to call Susan Henderson at (269) 673-6545 ext. 13 for an appointment.
What to bring:
photo identification; social security or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) for each family member; birth dates for each family member; last year’s federal and state returns, if possible; bank routing and account numbers to direct deposit refund; childcare expenses, provider name, address and tax ID; W-2, 1099, 1098 forms recording income; 1095-A, B or C; Affordable Health Care statements; health insurance exemption certificate, if received; heat bill; and landlord info and property tax bills.
