Library Joining Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, Providing Tax Help to Community

The Josephine Community Library is teaming up with Josephine County Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) volunteers to help community members with their federal and state taxes at no cost.

Starting February 10th and running through April 3rd from 2 to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and 1 to 5 p.m. Fridays, citizens can set up appointments through the VITA program at the Grants Pass branch at 200 NW C Street.

Walk-in assistance for tax forms or general tax-related questions are accepted Fridays. Participants are reminded to bring proof of identity, their tax forms, a Social Security card, and last year’s tax return. Certified VITA volunteers will prepare and file returns, which are typically available for pickup within approximately one week.

The program is designed for individuals with simple tax returns, such as income from wages, Social Security, or retirement (1099 forms). To schedule an appointment, call VITA at 541-223-9597 or visit joco-freetaxes.com.
