As a service to people in our area, Christian Help of Mingo County is offering free tax preparation services to local residents. Christian Help is an official site of the IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. The intention is to help lower income folks file their tax returns and get access to valuable programs like the Earned Income Tax Credit without having to pay fees to a preparer.
I, along with ABLE Families’ program director Sr. Patricia Ann, have gone through a training program and passed certification exams that qualify us to serve as volunteer preparers. We do not recieve payment for offering these services.
Anyone wishing to take advantage of the program by having their tax returns prepared should call 304-393-4987 to make an appointment. We’re open for doing the work at the times Christian Help is open to the public: Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, from 10:00 to 4:00.
