JENNINGS COUNTY — The Jennings County United Way will hold a free Get Ahead tax clinic Tuesday, June 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the United Way Center, 707 N. State St., North Vernon.
“This event is geared toward low income residents who may owe income taxes they can’t afford to pay, but all are welcome,” said Cheri Massey, United Way director. “It is for anyone who needs answers, needs help with an IRS issue they can’t resolve on their own, needs to file a late return or amend a return or wants to check to see if their W2 withholding, Marketplace Premiums or estimated tax payment amounts are appropriate.”
The clinic will have the Tax Payer Advocate Service, which is part of the IRC, available. Local volunteers will also offer walk-in tax prep and e-file, appointments and paycheck check-ups.
The United Way offers Get Ahead workshops throughout the year. These teach financial empowerment to equip participants with the tools to turn “paycheck to paycheck” into bright, secure futures, according to Massey.
“We encourage you to walk in — please bring your ID, Social security card and all tax documents for tax returns, your W2s for the withholding and Marketplace Premium checks — or schedule an appointment during the clinic hours,” Massey said. “Or just stop by to meet our VITA volunteers and say thank you.”
