Tax Day is getting closer.
Most U.S. residents and families making $67,000 a year or less will qualify for United Way of South Central Indiana’s Free Community Tax Service. The program offers assistance from IRS- certified volunteers in Monroe, Brown and Owen Counties.
To check eligibility for in-person services, taxpayers can use United Way’s online tool. Taxpayers are encouraged to come prepared with W-2s and other income documents.
United Way said volunteers filed 851 federal returns last year, which brought more than $1 million in refunds and credits.
