The Nevada County Health and Human Service Department is operating a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site offering free tax preparation assistance and filing of simple returns. If you earned less than $58,000 or are disabled, contact Nevada County VITA tax line for assistance with your return. The returns processing has already started and will continue to the close of business on Tax Day, April 18, 2022.
Tax credits help working families, and their communities thrive, and unfortunately, many taxpayers leave them unclaimed annually. This outreach event aims to bring awareness to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a fully refundable credit based on earned income. The amount of your income, or combined income if married, and whether you have qualifying children all play a role in determining the amount of the credit to which you may qualify.
This year, the County site will operate primarily as a drop-off site, which means customers will complete intake forms, then leave their paperwork with staff to complete the return, coming back only to review and submit their return. This new process will save time for the customer and provide a COVID safe process. Customers may even complete the intake form online and send it with their paperwork via e-mail. However, some appointment times will be kept available for those individuals not comfortable leaving their documents.
If you would like to make arrangements to have your taxes prepared, please contact Connecting Point by dialing 2-1-1 or the Nevada County VITA tax line at 530-265-1727 or by e-mail at EITC@co.nevada.ca.us. Once you have scheduled your time for tax preparation, your documents may be dropped off at Eric Rood Center 950 Maidu Ave Ste 120, Nevada City.
