(Free) In-House Tax Help!

To All U.Va. Employees:

University Human Resources is once again partnering with U.Va. students to offer University of Virginia employees free help in preparing their taxes. Staff and faculty who earn $49,000 or less annually and meet certain requirements can have their tax returns prepared for free.

The group -- Creating Assets, Savings and Hope (CASH) -- is organized through the University's student volunteer center, Madison House, and will be helping employees in the Human Resources building at 918 Emmet Street from Jan. 31 until April 18. They will be available on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Appointments may be scheduled online at www.vitavirginia.org/appointments (limited walk-ins available).

The students are trained by the Internal Revenue Service as part of the federal Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (VITA). CASH also has sites at the Friendship Court community center and the Monticello Area Community Action Agency.

To be eligible, employees must earn less than $49,000, may not have investment income in excess of $3,100, do not itemize deductions on their returns, do not have capital gains or losses, and may not be non-resident aliens.

This is one of many ways that University students help our community. I hope you will take advantage of this free service. For more information and a list of items to bring to your appointment, visit http://www.hr.virginia.edu/go/tax-prep.

Sincerely,

Susan Carkeek
