Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Volunteers from AARP and the Internal Revenue Service Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program will offer residents free assistance with personal income tax form preparation and electronic filing at five city of Las Vegas senior or community centers through April 15.
Vita Volunteers are trained to assist in filing tax forms and basic schedules including 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ, for those having a taxable income up to $57,000.
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers provide in-person and virtual tax assistance to anyone free of charge, with a special focus on taxpayers who are over 50 or have low-to-moderate income. Taxpayers with complex returns are advised to seek paid tax assistance by both groups.
Advance appointments are required at all locations.
Bring a copy of your 2019 income tax return, Social Security card, photo identification and all of your applicable 2020 paperwork to the appointment. If married, both spouses must be present to file a joint return. Call a center below weekdays to schedule an appointment.
