Tornado Tax Relief |  | |
Springfield Partners for Community Action is offering free tornado tax return filing services to Hampden County tornado victims declaring property losses.
Experienced tax preparers will offer this free service to homeowners and renters.
Residents unsure whether they ought to claim property losses, or who want more information, are invited to attend a free information session.
These sessions will be held every Saturday, from Jan. 28 to April 7, from 11 to 11:30 a.m., at Springfield Partners, 721 State St., 2nd Floor, Springfield.
Declaring property casualty losses is a complicated process. It typically takes an experienced professional tax preparer about 3 hours to complete the paperwork.
Filing these losses may bring substantial tax relief to some, particularly homeowners with destroyed homes or major property damage.
To make an appointment for tornado tax services, call 413-263-6500. Be sure to mention that you suffered property damage in the June 1, 2011 tornado and need help filing casualty losses.
This service is being provided through Springfield Partners for Community Action's VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program.
Taxpayers will need to bring many documents to their appointment. IRS Publication 2194 contains a list of documents and more information; click here to open it in a PDF file.
