SGA tax website operational for filing season
Just in time for tax season, the Student Government Association unveiled its new tax website to guide students through the process of filing federal and state taxes.
The website, myfreetaxes.com, allows students to file taxes online or in-person with an IRS-certified volunteer income-tax preparer.
The online tax help is offered in Spanish and in English.
Students interested in using the site will need to provide their Social Security Number, W-2 or other tax return forms and childcare provider name. They will also be required to submit their bank routing and account number for a checking or savings account, last year’s tax return and a valid email address.
For more information, students can visit the website or Facebook group at facebook.com/myfreetaxes.
Students will also be able to give feedback and ask questions about the site directly to SGA, Feb. 22 from 8–9:30 p.m. on Twitter. The SGA Twitter account can be found at twitter.com/@CMUSGA and questions with “#SGA2015” will be answered.
