Students in the Lewis-Clark State College Business & Computer Science Division are offering free assistance with 2021 tax returns to help Lewiston-Clarkston Valley residents who cannot afford to pay for help with their returns.
The students are participating in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, which is an Idaho state-run program that is sponsored through the IRS. The students are trained in using material from the IRS, including IRS software, to complete tax forms. The students went through LC State professor Randy Eriksen’s tax course prior to this semester. The students then take part in an IRS clinic and pass the beginners, intermediate and advanced IRS-sponsored exams.
The students are offering tax assistance on Tuesdays through April 15th, from 5-to-7 p.m. in Thomas Jefferson Hall, Room 8, on the LC State campus.
Those seeking help will need to bring all of their tax documents, like their W-2, 1098, and 1099 forms, along with their tax ID number and a photo ID. No appointment is necessary for tax help.
For more information contact Professor Eriksen at 208-792-2426.
