The East Hills Library in St. Joseph will be offering an informational session later this month for anyone needing help filing taxes online this year.

Library Assistant Sara Whitten said East Hills Library is offering this presentation because they saw a need.

“We have a lot of patrons coming in to file their taxes on the computer right now and some of them have ended up paying and I believe most of them probably could have gotten them for free and I don’t think everyone has that information,” Whitten said. “Because if you make under $66,000 a year, you have options to get both your federal and state for free if you file online.”

Whitten said the presentation will provide information on the benefits of online filing and more.

“I’ll go over how they can request a transcript and… I’ll be able to show them some of the sites that you’ll be able to go to that will have the free filing options,” Whitten said. “Also, how, once they do file, they can check how they get their refund.”

The presentation on free tax filing will be at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 20, at the East Hills Library at 502 N. Woodbine Road. The program is free and no registration is required.
