With tax season underway, pros offer tips
Taxpayers will have a little extra time to get their returns in to the IRS. This year, the tax-filing deadline is April 18. Normally, it falls on April 15, but due to the 15th falling on a weekend and Monday, April 17, being Emancipation Day, a Washington, D.C., holiday, filers get a little more time to submit their taxes.
The IRS began accepting tax returns Jan. 23.
People already are making appointments to get their taxes done, said Kenny Bonus, a CPA whose Bonus Accounting has offices in Chicora and Mount Chestnut. He is bringing in seasonal help as well as interns from Slippery Rock University and Butler County Community College who will prepare taxes for college credit.
Rauschenberger said the program does not take walk-ins. The four sites in Butler County, Trinity Lutheran Church, 120 Sunset Drive; Tanglewood Center, 10 Austin Ave., Lyndora: the Mars Public Library, 107 Grand Ave., Mars; and the Cranberry Township Public Library, 2525 Rochester Drive, all require an appointment in advance by calling 211. Taxpayers should bring a photo ID along with their prior year (2021) tax return.
Trinity Lutheran Church will take tax preparations appointments on Thursdays, the Tanglewood Center and the Mars Library on Tuesdays and the Cranberry Township Library on Mondays.
