The Senior Volunteer Program of Venango County, in conjunction with the AARP Tax-Aide Program, will offer free tax preparation services.
Tax counselors who have been trained and certified through the Internal Revenue Service can help people prepare basic tax forms and standard schedules as well as property tax/rent rebate forms from the following locations:
— First Baptist Church, Franklin – 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Thursday and Friday, Feb. 6 through April 9; individuals should arrive no later than 2 p.m.
— Titusville Active Aging – by appointment only, which may be arranged by calling (814) 827-9134.
Trained volunteers will prepare federal, state and local income tax and property tax/rent rebate forms. Free electronic filing will be provided at each location.
Taxpayers seeking assistance should take all income statements for 2019. This includes W2 forms, Interest 1099 forms, Dividend 1099 forms, Miscellaneous 1099 forms, Rent or Royalty 1099 forms, and Social Security statements for 2019.
People should also take their 2018 tax return and, if they are filing for a property tax rebate, they should also take property taxes marked PAID for 2019.
More information is available by calling (814) 432-9723.
