Students offer assistance with both Federal and Iowa returns beginning Feb. 4
Once again, Kirkwood Community College students are volunteering to assist area taxpayers with their Federal and Iowa tax returns. Accounting students have opened their Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program to aid students, staff and faculty in preparing the basic levels of tax returns. They will assist with the 1040EZ, 1040A and 1040 returns. The volunteers request that no business, rental or investment income aspects be part of the taxpayer’s financial profile.
Participants are requested to bring all important tax documents with them to the appointment, including Social Security cards, a copy of the previous year’s tax return, and all statements of income including W-2, 1099 and other appropriate forms. A free “E-File” service is available for both Federal and State tax returns through the Kirkwood VITA process.
Appointments will be available Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays beginning Feb. 4 and continuing through April 14, 2009. Services will not be available during Kirkwood’s Spring Break week, March 14-22. Persons interested in the assistance can make an appointment by emailing VITA@kirkwood.edu or calling 319-398-5899, Ext. 4521 to leave a message with your name and phone number.
