Hedberg Public Library is adding another service to meet the needs of the community. Our new Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (VITA) offers free tax help to low-to-moderate-income individuals, providing assistance in preparing their tax returns. The VITA program is a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and organizations such as public libraries.
The program runs February 4-April 15 with appointments available Wednesdays from 3-5:30pm and on Thursdays from 1-3:30pm. Registration is required for each appointment. Register online or by calling the library at 608-758-6600 and scheduling an appointment.
Tax assistance is by appointment only and there will be no day of walk-ins. Appointments are limited and there will only be one filing per appointment.
The qualifications of the program are:
· Below $67,000 net income
· Basic to moderately complex tax returns
You will NEED to bring with you to your appointment the following items:
· Taxpayer's proof of identity, such as a current photo id/driver's license
· All forms, W-2, 1098, 1099, and any other forms
· Information for all other incomes
· Social Security Cards and/or ITIN notices/cards for you, your spouse and dependents
· Proof of account for direct deposit of refund (e.g. voided check)
· Information for deductions/credits
