Free tax service planned, volunteers needed

YOUNGSTOWN

Mahoning-Youngstown Community Action Partnership again will provide free basic tax service to eligible low- and moderate-income individuals, families and senior citizens.

The annual Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program offers free tax-preparation assistance to those who need to file local, state and federal taxes, but who can’t afford to pay to have their taxes prepared.

MYCAP is seeking volunteers to learn basic tax information for the 2012 tax year and then use this information and the learned skills to process basic tax returns.

For information about becoming a VITA volunteer, call Francine at MYCAP at 330-747-7921, ext. 1738.
