Ganesha High School Students to Offer Free Tax Return Services

Ganesha High School business and accounting students will offer free tax return preparation services to community members during eight Saturday sessions taking place from Feb. 7 through April 11.

This is the third year the students, who are IRS-certified volunteers, will be offering the services. Students have been officially trained and tested in current tax law and can provide assistance with a variety of IRS forms and schedules.

Sessions will take place from 8 a.m. to noon in Room 12 of Ganesha High School, 1151 Fairplex Drive, Pomona, and be held on the following days:

• Feb. 7, 21 and 28
• March 7, 14 and 21
• April 11

The service is part of the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and is open to those whose annual income is $53,000 or less. Appointments are not required.

Filers must bring W-2 forms, a copy of a 2013 federal tax return, Social Security card, proof of identification, information for other income and proof of foreign status if applying for ITIN. Additional items may be required.

Last year, taxpayers saved more than $4,800 in tax preparation fees by using the free service.
