Tax Help Montana and Americorps volunteers are helping people be prepared for state and federal taxes free of charge.
Chastity Roofner of Rural Dynamics said, “Tax Help Montana, last year we did over seven thousand returns. We brought over $13 million dollars into the hands of Montana community members. So that’s all money that comes back into our communities so this is money that people are using for their rent, using to buy a car so they can get to and from work, using for their childcare expenses."
Volunteers keep regular hours at several Great Falls locations and have scheduled events in several outlying communities.
For each person listed on the return, bring:
- Social Security Card or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) card or letter.
- Prior year’s tax return
- Valid picture I.D.
Income Statement or Forms:
- Wages from each job (W-2)
- Interest (Form 1099-INT)
- Dividends (Form 1099-DIV)
