Income Tax Return Assistance

VITA offers assistance in preparing tax returns for basic tax forms

• 1040EZ
• 1040A
• 1040

We do not prepare tax returns for the following individuals:

• with income from rental property.
• with income from self-employment (Schedule C business return)
• from states other than Wisconsin or Minnesota
• who have very complicated returns.

​The VITA volunteer program is provided on a first-come, first-served basis and wait times vary; we appreciate your patience.

We understand your time is very valuable; however, tax preparation takes time. If we rush, there is a possibility of a mistake occurring and a delay in your return being processed.

​When preparing for your meeting with a VITA representative, please bring the following:

• Proof of identification
• Photo ID
• Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) assignment letter for you, your spouse, and dependents
  OR
• Social Security cards for you, your spouse, and dependents and/or a Social Security number verification letter issued by the Social Security Administration
• Birthdates for you, your spouse, and dependents on your tax return
• Wage and earning statement(s) form W-2, W-2G, or 1099-R from all your employers
• Total amount you paid for daycare and the daycare provider’s tax identification number
• Interest and dividend statements from financial institutions (Form 1099)
• A copy of last year’s federal and state returns, if available. (Get Federal | Get State)
• Financial institution’s routing number and account number for direct deposit

To file taxes electronically on a married filing joint tax return, both spouses must be present to sign the required forms.
