Tax help

NASHUA – The Greater Nashua Asset Building Coalition is offering free income tax preparation at four area locations beginning this month.

To receive free tax filing assistance, total income per return cannot exceed $49,000 for tax year 2011 and must not include more than $3,150 in investment income. No appointment is needed for the free tax preparation, which runs 9 a.m.-3 p.m. every Saturday through March 24 at Triangle Credit Union, 33 Franklin St., Nashua.

Free tax filing help also will be available 9 a.m.-noon Mondays, Feb. 6-April 16, at the YMCA-Merrimack, 6 Henry Clay Drive, Merrimack.

Tax filers should bring all their relevant tax information, including Social Security card(s) for themselves and their dependents; W-2 and 1099 income reporting forms; copy of their 2010 tax return; driver’s license or photo identification card; tax identification number of their child care provider; and any mortgage company statements received during 2011.
