Attention Tax Paying Seniors
Tax assistance will again be available to seniors 60 years of age and older at the Geauga County Department on Aging’s Chardon Senior Center, 12555 Ravenwood Drive, Claridon Township.
The department on aging will offer this service by appointment only, from Feb. 4 through April 11. Tax assistance will be available from Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) trained and certified personnel. Tax preparers will be using the electronic E-filing method this year.
The volunteers who help prepare taxes will need two forms of identification from each taxpayer who is receiving tax assistance. One of the forms of identification must be a photo identification, e.g., passport, U.S. driver’s license, state identification card, military identification card. The second identification form can be an original or a copy of your Social Security card, ITIN card or letter, if applicable.
Do not discard your end of year Social Security statement, as this indicates the benefits you have received.
You will have the option to have your refund deposited directly into the bank account of your choice. Please bring bank routing and account numbers with to your appointment.
Tax appointments are scheduled first-come (call), first-serve basis. To schedule an appointment for tax assistance, call 440-279-2130, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
