FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tax Preparation available @ Six Mile Regional Library District

Granite City – January 19, 2018

You can get more than a library card at the Six Mile Regional Library District!  Soon, at the Delmar Avenue library, you can also have your taxes filed.

In partnership with Gateway EITC (earned income tax credit) Community Coalition, GCS Credit Union, and the Internal Revenue Service, Six Mile Regional Library District is pleased to announce that the Delmar Avenue library is a place for low to moderate income households to receive free tax preparation services.  Households earning below $54,000 a year can make an appointment to have their taxes prepared and filed for free.

Our IRS trained and certified preparers will prepare your tax return and e-file it for free.  Receive your refund in 7-10 days when you take advantage of direct deposit, for free.  You may also qualify to receive up to $6,318 cash back when you claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

Tax preparation services are offered by appointment only on Saturdays, February 3 – April 7, 2018. 

Our mission:  The Library makes a significant difference in the everyday lives of the people, institutions, and communities of Granite City, Mitchell, and Pontoon Beach by listening, understanding, and then transforming needs into proactive library services.
