State Sen. LeAnna Washington (D-Montgomery/Philadelphia) will be teaming with the Financial Freedom Network to present a series of free Tax Planning Seminars and Tax Preparation Services.
“Tax preparation can be quite a daunting task,” Washington said. “That is why I am pleased to offer these information seminars and tax preparation services to help those in need of guidance.”
Thane C. Martin, Certified Public Accountant, will be on hand to teach:
- Strategies to Reduce Your Tax Burden
- What It Means to Be “Audited by the IRS”
- What Deductions You Qualify For
- How Filing for Bankruptcy Affects your Taxes & More
For those who have already filed their 2010 taxes, there will be information on how to save money in the future. For constituents from low-income households, there will be an IRS-trained tax preparer on hand to help file their taxes for free. There is limited seating for these events.
