Free Tax Preparation Services Again This Year

The Volunteer for Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Northern Frederick County group of volunteers will again offer free preparation of Federal and Maryland tax returns this spring. Starting February 8, 2023, you can call 301-471-5757 (the same phone number as last year) to make appointments for the week of February 20. As usual, the deadline for filing your taxes is mid-April.

The group, working under IRS guidelines and certified by IRS to prepare certain types of returns, will follow the same general process for making appointments and preparing tax returns as before COVID. You must first call a volunteer for an appointment. When you call, the volunteer will ask you several questions about your 2021 income, filing status, and other tax factors to determine if IRS allows the group to prepare your taxes. If IRS does, the volunteer will make your appointment and ask you to bring your tax documents with you to the Thurmont Regional Library, located at 76 E. Moser Road in Thurmont. All taxes will be prepared at the library.
