The Community Resource Center (CRC) in Manchester is once again offering free Scan and Go income tax preparation through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program in partnership with the United Ways of Washtenaw County and South Central Michigan. IRS trained volunteers from both the CRC and United Way agencies will provide intake, tax preparation, and review for VITA participants with household income less than $60,000 in 2022 (additional restrictions may apply in some situations). Even if your income status does not require filing a federal tax return, there may be state credits for home heating or property tax that are available to you. VITA can help with that. More details about the VITA program and additional tax resources can be found at: https://www.uwwashtenaw.org/free-tax-preparation
Scan and Go intake appointments will be scheduled through the CRC office during February and March 2023. Please call our office at 734-428-7722 to confirm your eligibility and to reserve your time slot.
Once you have scheduled your appointment, you may pick up your intake packet at the CRC office including both federal and state intake forms, a list of items to bring with you, and a letter from United Way explaining the VITA Scan and Go process. You may also request to have the packet mailed to you if your appointment is set for at least two weeks out.
NEW this tax season– residents of Woodhill Apartments will have the opportunity to schedule appointments on Wednesdays in February and March with our lead volunteer to complete the Scan and Go intake without having to leave your apartment complex. Please call the CRC office at 734-428-7722 to reserve your time slot at Woodhill Apartments.
We look forward to hearing from you!
