It’s time to file income taxes, again! And, for many Coastal Bend filers, trying to make sense of the different forms or changes can be a struggle. Furthermore, paying for an accountant to prepare returns may not be part of the budget.

However, Del Mar College students trained in tax and accounting software can make the tax season a little less stressful for area filers by providing FREE services through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program.

As a nationwide program established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the VITA Program involves volunteers who prepare tax returns free for individuals who make $67,000 per year or less.

Services at DMC are scheduled from 2 to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays Jan. 28 through April 15 in Room A142 in Viking Hall on the Heritage Campus. Appointments are not necessary, so walk-ins are welcome.

Filers need to bring tax information, including their W-2 form, other documentation of earned income, Social Security cards for everyone being claimed on the return and a form of identification, such as a Drivers License or other photo I.D. Services are provided as part of the Coastal Bend VITA Coalition, a collaborative partnership headed by the United Way of the Coastal Bend. For more details, visit www.uwcb.org/vita. VITA Program services at Del Mar College will not be available during Spring Break, which is March 10-15
