EITC partnership offers free tax preparation
CHENANGO COUNTY – Although the holidays are currently upon us, many in Chenango County are already thinking about the coming tax season, and the Chenango Earned Income Tax Credit Partnership Committee may be able to help.
In the fourth year of the program, The EITC Partnership Committee is offering free tax preparation service to anyone with a combined household income of $39,783 or less, depending on the number of adults and children in the household.
The program has been steadily growing since it was first introduced in 2004. Based on the volunteer work of several organizations, including the Chenango United Way, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Opportunities for Chenango, Colgate University, The Internal Revenue Service, The American Association of Retired Persons, GHS Credit Union, NBT Bank, M&T Bank (formerly Partners Trust), SUNY Morrisville, Chenango County Department of Social Services and the Chenango County Farm Bureau, the goal of the organization is to prepare and file as many tax returns as possible and help families in Chenango County receive the money they qualify as part of the Earned Income Tax Credit.
The program has been growing since it was first introduced. In the first year, only 193 tax returns in the first year. Last year that number had grown to 503 tax returns filed. A total of $230,323 back to the community in Federal Earned Income Tax Credit alone, and a total of $610,748 in total refunds was received.
The EITC Partnership Committee uses electronic filing, with no hidden fees, and most participants can expect a tax refund in about two weeks time.
The committee hopes individuals will keep them in mind come tax season. They hope to help even more individuals to file their taxes this year.
For more information, or to determine if you are eligible for free tax preparation, call the EITC Hotline at Opportunities for Chenango 336-2101. AARP tax preparation sites will also be available for low to moderate income tax payers who are 60 and older. For more information contact the Office of the Aging at 337-1770.
