Mobile Express visits Goodwill’s free tax clinics

The Ohio Benefit Bank ‘Mobile Express” tax service van visited Goodwill Wednesday as part of the Goodwill and United Way of Erie County’s free tax clinics.

The “Mobile Express” is used to promote the tax clinics and serves as a reminder for anyone with an annual household income of less than $60,000 and no income from stocks or investments to come downtown and participate.

The remaining sessions are set for Wednesday Feb. 29: 3-7pm and Saturday March 3: 8am-Noon, at the Goodwill Industries administration office, 419 W. Market St., Sandusky. Appointments are not necessary and walk-ins are encouraged.

Participants will need to bring social security numbers for all family members; all W2, 1098 and 1099 forms; information about all sources of income; details about possible deductions like child-care expenses, tuition bills; and union dues; and if available, a copy of last year’s tax return.

The clinics are made available through a grant from the Ohio Benefit Bank and sponsorships from area banks including Citizens Banking Co., Vacationland Federal Credit Union, 5/3rd Bank and Key bank.
