When: March 8 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Who:

Additional Details: The mobile bus event is part of United Way’s metroCASH program that provides IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers to guide individuals through the process of electronically filing federal and state returns. The program promotes financial independence and utilizes the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a benefit for working people with low- and moderate-incomes. Last year the organization helped more than 3,200 households prepare their taxes for free, returning about $3 million to the local economy.

Anyone interested in having their taxes prepared by one of the certified volunteers will need to bring all tax related documents, a photo ID and Social Security cards for all family members including children to be included on the income tax return.
