Preparing for the 2021 tax year!

Do You qualify for free tax preparation using the IRS VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program?  Generally, if your annual income is below $58,000 you will qualify.  There are a few tax situations we cannot help with.  Check here before making an appointment: Out of Scope Summary TY2021 .

Masters of Coin will operate three VITA sites at Scottsdale Community College, Via Linda Senior Center, and Desert Foothills Library.  These sites should open the end of January or first of February.  Click here to learn how to schedule an appointment.

Once you have your appointment scheduled, you can save time by filling out the tax questionnaire before coming to your appointment.  That questionnaire can be downloaded here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f13614c.pdf

We will also offer free access to the tax preparation software we use and provide remote assistance through phone, e-mail, or video chat. Stay tuned for more!

It was a pleasure to participate as a VITA volunteer!  Originally I thought it was a great opportunity to give back to the community. However through the tax preparation volunteer works, I realized that by “giving”, I am actually “taking” because of the satisfaction helping others. Especially helping the people who work really hard to support themselves.
