Trained and certified volunteers will be on hand to complete basic income tax returns through April 15. Electronic filing means any refunds an individual or family is owed come back much more quickly, usually within 10 business days. No appointment is necessary.
Tax clients need to bring:
- A valid picture ID
- W-2 forms and 1099s showing all income
- Social Security cards(s) OR Individual Tax Payer Identification Numbers (ITIN) for you, your spouse, children and other dependents
- Bank account information for a direct deposit or tax return—a copy of a valid check (a bank account is not needed to get a refund)
Only basic individual taxes are prepared: no businesses and no rental income. United Way has volunteers who speak a number of languages. Call the 2-1-1 helpline for more information or to find another site in Puget Sound nearer to you.
