Starting February 1st, we will be making appointments for seniors who want assistance filling out their uncomplicated 2005 Federal Income Tax returns, VT 2005 Income Tax returns and rebate forms.  Please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment to fill out an   introductory questionnaire.
Be sure to bring the following  documents to your appointment with the Tax Assistance volunteer:

• Picture ID (Driver's license, passport, etc.)
  
• Your Social Security card or Social Security statement
  
• Copies of the income taxes you filed last year
  
• Proof of all sources of income (W-2 if you were employed; 1099-R if you received pensions or annuities; Social Security; Interest and dividend income; State rebates and pre-bates; IRA income; sale of stock or real estate; any other income)
  
• Copy of your 2005-2006 property tax bill or signed landlord  certificate. If you are filing for Renter Rebate, Homeowner   Property Tax rebate or Act 68 School Property Tax Payment   Application, you will need to bring proof of income for everyone in your household.
  
• Tax booklet and forms you received in the mail.
  

If you've been to a doctor lately, you've probably been asked that question. Last Sept. 1st, new legislation was passed in VT that clarifies some of the issues about "advance directives". If you have questions, be sure to come to the Center on Feb. 22nd at 12:30 for a presentation by Eleanor Zue, Paralegal.
