During last year's tax season, these volunteers helped secure almost $1.8 million in federal and state refunds. If you are interested in getting your taxes done for free call 2-1-1, or 877.652.1148, and schedule a VITA appointment with UWHC today. VITA sites are located throughout Hunterdon County. You can also schedule an appointment online now and learn about our new Drop-n-Go Valet Tax Service – they'll do your taxes while you're doing something else! Visit www. uwhunterdon.org/volunteer-income-tax-assistance-vita to learn more or www.uwhunterdon.org/schedule-my-tax-appointment to schedule an appointment starting February 1. Clients with severe disability/mobility issues and unable to leave their home should call United Way of Hunterdon County directly to speak to the VITA Program Coordinator or VITA Volunteer at 908-237-1689. You will be asked if there is a representative (family or close friend) who can drop off paperwork on your behalf. If not, our organization will determine the best way to serve you and ensure your taxes will be done in a timely manner. Seniors are reminded to bring their Property Tax Reimbursement applications (blue books) with them if they would like assistance in completing them. Free tax prep services are available at a number of locations throughout the county, including the Senior Center on Gauntt Place and the United Way Community Volunteer Center on Fulper Road in Flemington. Self-facilitated, free online tax preparation is once again available for BOTH Federal and State returns. Go to myfreetaxes.com and you have access to a volunteer preparer if you need assistance in filing your return. A nominal fee may apply for household incomes of more than $64,000. This IRS-certified service is available thanks to a unique partnership of United Way of Hunterdon County and the IRS. United Way of Hunterdon County is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health. These are the building blocks for a good life - a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.
