Coming soon - Free income tax preparation

GAINESVILLE - The Center for Family Prosperity under the Gainesville-Hall County Community Service Center will open the 2013 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Site Wednesday, January 30.

Phillippa Lewis Moss, Director of the Community Service Center, said assistance will be available Wednesdays from 3:00pm-7:00 and Saturday, February 9 and February 23 from 8:00-5:00 through March 6 by appointment only.

Families continue to look for ways to cut costs and make the most of their annual state and federal refund checks.
