Student volunteers have passed online tests through the IRS
for certification to prepare returns and file them electronically, which
shortens the wait time for refunds. For those eligible, they offer help with
special credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit.
Houghton College students will be preparing returns on
Wednesday evenings through April 1st (with the exception of
March 4th) in room 303 of the Houghton College library.
To schedule an appointment, dial 2-1-1 or 800-346-2211 (the
United Way Help Line) and ask for a VITA tax preparation appointment at
Houghton College. For additional information, email Elianna Chroniger at elianna.chroniger@houghton.edu.
