Registration for Jackson County United Way’s Free Income Tax Assistance program will begin Jan. 4.

Households making less than $66,000 are able to get their taxes done for free by IRS-certified tax preparers.

In 2021, the FITA program was able to help 528 clients receive $669,731 in federal refunds and $67,852 in state refunds.

Mostly volunteer-driven, this program is in its 12th year serving Jackson County.

Registrations can be made by going online to jacsy.org/freetaxes or calling 812-522-5450, ext. 1. More information about the intake process, location and paperwork needed will be provided after registration.
