MOUNT VERNON — Households with incomes under $89,000 can file their federal and state taxes online for free at MyFreeTaxes.com using step-by-step guidance.
The service guides eligible filers through their returns to help them claim credits such as the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit.
United Way’s calendar for individual tax appointments filled quickly this year. The agency introduced a drop-off service to make services available to more people.
Clients needing in-person help can attend Tax Walk-In Days on March 5, March 12, and
March 19 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 305 E. High St. No appointment is required.
Walk-in services are available to individuals who live, work, or learn in Knox County. They must also meet income limits of $65,000 or less for single filers or $95,000 or less for married couples filing jointly.
The program can assist with most basic tax returns but cannot prepare returns that include rental income, property sales, real estate transactions, agricultural income, clergy income, or certain 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC income requiring a Schedule C.
Participants must bring a government-issued photo ID, Social Security cards for all
household members, direct deposit information, and all tax documents such as W-2s and 1099s. Incomplete documentation cannot be accepted.
The United Way of Knox County is committed to strengthening financial stability and
helping individuals and families build a stronger financial future.
Knox Community Hospital proudly supports the vibrant pulse of our community by sponsoring the Life & Culture section on Knox Pages, celebrating the stories and experiences that make our region unique.
