The St. Louis Tax Assistance Program offers free electronic income tax return preparation and tax information for individuals and families with income under $35,000 who do not itemize. Many people are eligible for the ‘Earned Income Tax Credit’ without knowing it, even if no taxes have been withheld, and refunds may be substantial.
This service is offered every Saturday from January 29 through March 5 at Ranken Technical College, 4431 Finney; at Catholic Family Services, 2647 Ohio; at St. Patrick Partnership Center, 800 North Tucker. Taxpayers should bring all W2’s and 1099’s, a copy of their 2003 tax return, a copy of a check for direct deposit of refund, value picture id, proof of child care expenses, social security cards or individual tax id numbers for all family members.
If a joint return, both spouses must attend to sign the tax return.
A special feature of this year’s program is that if clients want to have direct deposit for their returns, U.S. Bank will have staff on hand to set up instant checking accounts with no deposits. That way refunds can be sent directly to the your account safely and conveniently plus you now have an bank account.
This is designed to avoid those costly tax refund loans. You can still use your own account and, if you don’t qualify for a bank account, you may have the refund mailed directly to you. For more information, call 621-1996.
