Free Income Tax Preparation
The Pierce County Asset Building Coalition offers Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites and also works closely with AARP to help working and low-income individuals and families save money through free tax preparation help.
PCABC volunteers assist in the preparation of simple federal tax forms and file the returns electronically to speed the receipt of refunds.
Credit unions and banks are also present at some of these sites to give tax filers who do not have existing checking or saving accounts the opportunity to establish one prior to filing their returns. By having an account, filers can receive their refunds faster through direct deposit.
Unfortunately, the PCABC cannot prepare taxes for individuals who own their own business, received any capital gains or losses in the sale of stock, or own a home and paid in excess of $5,000 in mortgage interest.
The list of free tax preparation sites will be posted here in January 2009. Call 2-1-1 for a site near you.
Days and operation of sites vary. Please call the site nearest to you to confirm hours of operation.
To file taxes, individuals will need to bring the following items:• All W2s received from your employer(s) • 1099 forms (if any) • Social Security card or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number for all members of household • A copy of last year's tax return helps • A copy of Divorce/Child Custody Agreement, if applicable • Child care provider name, address, and tax ID number • Any other tax related documents received • Voided bank check for automatic deposit |
