2025 Tax Season
United Way of Alamance County’s Tax Time is a program that provides FREE income tax preparation to individuals with an annual income of less than $55,000 a year or filing jointly with a household income of less than $75,000 a year.
Please stay tuned for appointment information.
What to bring to your appointment:
- Any tax documents such as forms W-2, 1099, 1098 or 1095A (if applicable).
- Social Security cards or ITIN letters for ALL persons on your tax return. If you don’t have the original Social Security card available, a photocopy of the card is okay, or an official letter with proof of the Social Security number for the individual. The volunteer must see the document. You cannot just tell them the number from memory–no exceptions.
- Picture ID (such as valid driver’s license) for you and, if you are filing jointly with your spouse, a photo ID for your spouse as well.
- For direct deposit of your refund, you must have proof of financial institution information (like a blank check, not handwritten).
- Not required but a good idea is to have a copy of your previous year tax return.
Returns we cannot do:
- Schedule C with net loss, depreciation or business use of home
- Complex Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses
- Form SS-5 (request for Social Security Number)
- Form 8606 (non-deductible IRA)
- Form 8814 (child taxed at parent’s tax rate)
- Form SS-8 (determination of worker status for purposes of federal employment taxes and income tax withholding)
- Parts 4 & 5 of Form 8962 (Allocation of Policy Amounts, Alternative Calculation for Year of Marriage)
- Form W-7 (application for Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) )
- Returns with casualty/disaster losses
- Digital assets such as receiving (as a reward, award, or payment for property or services); or (b) selling, exchanging, gifting, or otherwise dispose of a digital asset (or a financial interest in a digital asset)
