The SUNY New Paltz School of Business announces the return of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which provides free tax help to individuals with a gross income of around $64,000 or less.
The VITA program connects community members with certified student volunteers who have received IRS training to provide basic tax return preparation assistance and free e-filing.
Starting on Feb. 5 and until April 15, taxpayers may have their returns prepared either virtually or in person. In person services will be provided Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (no appointment necessary)
Taxpayers may visit http://www.getyourrefund.org/sunynewpaltz to securely complete and submit documents virtually. Student volunteers will then contact taxpayers.
If you are interested in taking advantage of this free service, please be sure to have your photo ID, Social Security Cards, all informational statements such as W-2s & 1099s, last year’s tax return (if available) and your bank routing and account numbers for direct deposit available.
Any questions can be directed to the VITA program during the hours above at 845-257-2642.
