Free income tax preparation available at Highline College
Published 3:52 pm Tuesday, January 19, 2016
Community members can get their taxes done for free, thanks to a partnership between United Way of King County and Highline College. Households that make less than $62,000 are eligible, as long as tax returns do not involve business taxes, rental income or sale of property or stocks.
This community service is available from 4 to 8 p.m. Jan. 13 through April 21 on Wednesdays and Thursdays and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays in the Highline College Outreach Center, 23835 Pacific Highway S., Kent, Building 99, Room 251.
Participants will need to bring the following:
• Social Security cards/individual tax identification numbers, ITINs, and birthdates for everyone named on the return;
• Photo identification;
• All tax statements, such as W-2 forms, 1099 forms and SSA-1099 forms.
Bringing bank account numbers, routing numbers and a copy of last year’s tax return is also recommended. For a participant jointly filing with a spouse, both must be present to e-file.
No appointment is necessary. Those who arrive first will be served first. Services are provided by IRS-certified volunteers.
In addition to tax preparation, community members can sign up for health care and public benefits and access free credit reports.
