Athens Limestone RSVP offers free tax help

ATHENS — It’s that time of year, again.

And the Athens Limestone RSVP is sponsoring its annual free tax help through VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program) in Athens, Ardmore, and Decatur. 

VITA offers free tax help to lower income people, persons with disabilities, and elderly taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals for both federal and state returns.
