Sponsored by the AARP Foundation, IRS-certified volunteer tax counselors are offering free income-tax preparation assistance. Days and hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays at Greenwich Town Hall in the Hayton Room, 3rd floor beginning Tuesday, February 4th, ending Friday, April 11th and Saturdays at the Greenwich Main Library from 9:30 AM until 1:30 PM, beginning January 31st , ending April 12th.
Taxpayers need to bring a photo ID, Social Security cards for themselves, their spouses and any dependents, birth dates and a blank check for their bank account for direct deposit in case a refund is expected. The check will be returned and only used to show the routing and account numbers. They must also bring in all their tax documents including: wage and earning statements from employers — W-2’s, retirement income — 1099-R’s and any other income –1099-NEC’s and 1099-MISC’s; all health insurance statements and Affordable Health Care statements — Form 1095-A; interest and dividend statements from banks — Form 1099’s; and a copy of their federal and state tax returns from last year.
Married couples who are filing jointly will both have to sign the tax return.
Taxpayers will be served by appointment only at Greenwich Town Hall. Appointments can be made by emailing greenwichtaxaid@gmail.com or calling (203) 594-6058.
Saturday assistance at the Greenwich Main Library is on a first come, first served basis. Arriving clients may be asked to return at a future date if the volunteer tax preparers are already at capacity for the day.
