Free Tax Help

The Alger Heights Collaborative and the Garfield Park Neighborhood Association are bringing the VITA tax preparation site back to the neighborhood for a second year. Seymour Church has offered to serve as the location and Tax prep begins this week.

The United Way Kent County Tax Credit Coalition (KCTCC) helps working individuals and families achieve economic success through free tax services and financial literacy courses. They can help you complete your income tax return and apply for the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a refundable federal income tax credit. U.S. citizenship is not required but you must file a tax return to claim your credit.

Garfield Park Neighborhood Association along with the Alger Heights Collaborative will be offering this FREE service on Thursdays from 6-9pm throughout the tax season (February – April). This tax preparation site will be located at Seymour Christian Reformed Church at 840 Alger SE and will be available during the following dates (all dates are Thursdays unless otherwise noted).

February 5, 19 and 26

March 5, 12, 19 and 26

April 2 and 9

April 14 (Tuesday)
