Residents in Rockdale County looking to get a little help with their taxes this season can breathe a sigh of relief. The county is offering free tax preparation services at Johnson Park for eligible individuals. In an effort to support the community, these services are aimed at low to moderate-income taxpayers, particularly those 60 and older, who require assistance in preparing their own tax returns.
According to the Rockdale County, Georgia official website, the Internal Revenue Service Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is implementing the free tax help. VITA is known for providing trusted tax assistance to those who might otherwise not be able to afford it, often helping to make sure vulnerable populations don't miss out on tax benefits and credits they're entitled to.
Details on how to sign up have not been widely shared beyond the official announcement. To secure a spot for the free tax services, residents will need to contact the organizers directly. Those interested are encouraged to act quickly, as available appointments may fill up.
