NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Free tax assistance through TCE, the Tax Counseling for the Elderly program and VITA, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, will be offered at the New Rochelle Public Library beginning Tuesday, February 5th. Trained AARP volunteer counselors will be available every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 pm, through April 11th, 2013. These sessions will be held in the Community Gallery on the first floor of the Library. Tax filers are advised to arrive early, as they will meet with a tax advisor on a first-come, first-served basis. The library opens at 9:00 am on these days.
The TCE tax assistance program is free. Interested persons are advised to bring copies of their 2012 tax returns and whatever other tax related materials are needed to complete their returns; the counselors will have the necessary forms to complete the e-filing.
For patrons who just need tax forms, the IRS will be shipping forms to the library by January 31st.
A full selection of forms for federal and state returns will then be available on the third floor of the Library. In order to maintain the supply through the tax season, patrons are asked to take no more than two copies of any form. Reproducible forms are also available to be photocopied.
