February 10, 2021

St. Louis Comptroller Darlene Green, in partnership with the National Association of Black Accountants, Inc. (NABA) and St. Louis Community College is sponsoring free 2020 income tax return preparations for low-to-moderate wage earners, senior citizens and individuals with disabilities.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, NABA will be preparing all tax returns virtually. Interested taxpayers are asked to schedule an appointment and the tax session will be held via ZOOM conference.

The free services will be offered from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm on five consecutive Wednesdays: February 17 and 24, and March 3, 10 and 17. To schedule an appointment, taxpayers should visit nabavitastl.org [] and complete the intake/interview form.

Taxpayers will be assisted by IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers. They will help taxpayers apply for all tax credits for which they qualify, including earned income tax credits (EITC) and tax credits for seniors and those with disabilities. All 2020 federal and state (including Missouri, Illinois and other states) returns completed during the sessions will be filed electronically.

For more information, see the attached flyer or call 314-657-3435.
