 On
February 27, approximately ten high school students signed
up to meet with IRS tax volunteers to complete their
2008 tax returns.
The service
was free to any student who signed up for an appointment in the
high school's Career Counseling Center.
In addition to completing and filing the student’s state and local tax returns, the IRS Tax Volunteers
taught students how to handle their tax responsibility independently in future years.
The tax volunteers are willing
to guide students through the tax process and teach them about their personal income tax responsibilities.
Students who sign-up should bring:
- All W-2 Wage and Tax
Statements
- All
1099-Div
- Drivers License or School ID
- Know their Social Security Number and Birth Date.
Only students who are claimed as a dependent on a parent’s/guardian’s tax return are eligible for the service.
This is the third year that the tax volunteers have
come to Mohonasen, and they are planning on coming back
again next year. If your children are interested in
using this free tax service next year, please contact
the high school Guidance Office next year around tax
time.
Special

$40,000 a year, with their taxes for free. For more
