The returns are in…and it was a successful season for the County’s dedicated tax-aid volunteers.
Check out these numbers: 130 volunteers worked more than 16,000 volunteer hours at 30 locations throughout the County, completing and filing 4,500 tax returns, resulting in $4,281,076 in total refunds.
Despite the repeated snow storms this season resulting in multiple cancellations, volunteers prepared more tax returns than last year. And, the volunteers rose to the occasion to add more hours and days later in the season to accommodate the demand, in partnership with MCPL and the UpCounty Regional Services Center. Another note, 60 percent of returns were for seniors age 60+.
