Pitt-Bradford Students to Help Residents Prepare Taxes Free of Charge
For the 20th consecutive year, accounting students at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford will offer free income tax preparation for low- to moderate-income individuals and families.
Residents can receive assistance through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, also known as VITA, from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, in Room 158 of the Pitt-Bradford Sport and Fitness Center. There will also be sessions from noon to 5 p.m. on Feb.27 and March 20.
Students from the Pitt-Bradford Students in Free Enterprise Club who have been certified by the IRS will prepare 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ and Pennsylvania state returns for individuals.
Families and individuals interested in participating in the program are asked to bring the 2009 tax package and label (if mailed to them), proof of identity, Social Security cards for themselves and any dependents, their 2008 tax return, hard copies of 2009 W-2 and 1099 forms, and proof of account (such as a voided check) for direct deposit of refunds if desired.
Residents who have significant income and expenses from their own businesses or people with a lot of investment activity should seek the assistance of a professional tax preparer.
Residents will be helped on a first-come, first-served basis, with a daily limit for the number of returns to be prepared. A signup sheet will be available to keep waiting to a minimum.
