The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is inviting the public and federal agencies to comment on information collections for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs, as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. These programs offer free tax return preparation and counseling for seniors and those with low to moderate incomes, including individuals with disabilities. The IRS has announced changes in the paperwork requirements and added several new forms to ensure compliance. Public comments are encouraged and should be submitted by May 6, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The IRS is asking for people's thoughts on their free tax help programs, which are changing the paperwork needed. They want to make sure these changes are easy, so feedback is welcome until May 6, 2025.
