Tax Time continued in Franklin/Hill
Free income tax preparation will be offered for the sixth year in Franklin and Hill by the Franklin Asset Building Coalition (ABC), which is led by Casey Family Services. The service is aimed at working families, particularly those that qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
The site will be open in Franklin beginning on Saturday, January 26 at the Family Resource Center at Franklin Middle School, and continuing on every Saturday through February. In addition, free tax preparation will be provided on the first two Monday evenings of February in Hill at the Jennie Blake Elementary School. Free e-filing and direct deposit of refunds is part of the package.
Franklin Savings Bank, another Franklin ABC member, will again offer their “Smart CD” as an incentive to help families save for college or for first-time home ownership. Those who qualify for the EITC, and have their taxes done at the site, can open this certificate of deposit with as little as $100. After six months, Casey Family Services adds $100 to the account, and after one year, Franklin Savings Bank adds another $100, in effect providing three refunds! Last year, nine tax filers opened or added to their Smart CD and all nine reached the six-month point to receive $100 in additional savings. For more information, call 603.934.3315. |
