If you have trouble filing your taxes, have not filed taxes, or have tax questions, then VITA can help. The Meadville VITA program is a partnership between Allegheny College, the United Way of Western Crawford County, and the IRS, that provides Free Tax Preparation services to local area low-income and elderly families. Any Meadville area residents or families with incomes of $50,000 or less in tax year 2011 are eligible for free tax preparation services through VITA.

The volunteer tax preparers are highly trained Allegheny College students and local professionals who can help you file your federal and state tax returns completely free of charge. Besides preparing more accurate returns, the program also provides quicker tax refund options. E-filing ensures much faster refunds than traditional filing and there are several options available for receiving refunds or making payments. Also, the Meadville VITA program has an agreement with PNC Bank that allows free check-cashing services of IRS refund checks when the return is prepared at a VITA site.

This year the program has expanded in order to offer regular hours at the Meadville Public Library (848 N Main St.). The VITA site at the Library will be open three days a week from February 6 to April 12, 2012 so that you may come in at the time convenient for you . VITA hours at the Library will be:

Mondays: 1-7pm
Thursdays: 1-5pm
Saturdays: 10am-2pm.

This year VITA offers both walk-in services during these hours and scheduled appointments. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment please contact us at 814-566-4469.

Please be aware that we have a limited supply and selection of forms. If you can’t find what you’re looking for in the library, you can find forms online here to print or contact the IRS directly for copies.

Also, we ask that you take only the forms you need for your personal use. If you can share instruction booklets with others in your family, it would allow more people to have access to our limited resources. Thank you!
