Need help with preparing your taxes but can’t afford to pay a tax professional? Well tomorrow is your lucky day. Saturday, March 21, 2009 is Super Saturday which means that IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers (IRS TAC) and community free tax help sites across Oklahoma will open their doors to assist people with tax related issues.
People who earn $42,000 or less are eligible for free tax return preparation at either the IRS TACs or the community partner sites.
People who want their tax returns prepared should bring the following information:
-
Valid driver’s license or photo identification (self & spouse, if applicable)
-
Social Security cards for all persons listed on the return
-
Dates of birth for all persons listed on the return
-
All income statements: Forms W-2, 1099, Social Security, Unemployment, or other benefits statements, self-employment records and any documents showing taxes withheld
-
Dependent child care information: payee’s name, address and Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number
-
Proof of account at financial institution for direct debit or deposit (i.e. cancelled/voided check or bank statement)
-
Prior year tax return (if available)
-
Any other pertinent documents or papers
Super Saturday also is an opportunity for people, regardless of income, who may have a tax issue or who may be unable to pay their tax bill to visit an IRS TAC. The IRS can work with people to set up payment option plans that will prevent even greater penalties and interest.
