Free Tax Services for Kauai Workers

On March 21 and March 22, trained and IRS-certified volunteer tax return preparers recruited by the Family and Individual Self-Sufficiency Program at Aloha United Way will be helping ALULIKE, Inc., the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, and Kaua‘i Volunteer Tax Preparation provide additional free tax assistance to Kaua‘i workers.
• Since March 21 has been declared “Super Saturday” by the Internal Revenue Service, in addition to free tax preparation, the FISSP will be providing a $15 gift card to each taxpayer who files a federal return at these three clinics. For the walk-in only site in Lihu‘e, taxpayers will be served on a “first come, first served” basis and no new returns will be started after 2:30 p.m.
• These clinics will focus on helping taxpayers claim the Earned Income Tax Credit and other valuable tax benefits. To qualify for the EITC, a person must have earned income. Earned income is money from a job or self-employment but also includes union strike benefits, taxable long-term disability benefits received before the minimum retirement age, household employee income, and certain types of combat pay. The EITC provides the greatest benefit to those who have children but is available to single or married couples without children. Taxpayers without children must be at least 25 years old and under age 65 but no age limit applies if the taxpayer has a qualifying child.
• Taxpayers can log onto the Program’s dedicated website at www.hawaiitaxhelp.org to learn more and to find a list of documents that they will have to bring to the free tax sites in order to have their returns prepared. Taxpayers can also contact the program coordinator by e-mail at info@hawaiitaxhelp.org
