Woodside on the Move (WOTM), the longstanding neighborhood non-profit, is offering free tax preparation services this year to qualified New Yorkers.

The free tax services are available to those earning $54,000 or less with dependents, or $30,000 or less with no dependents.

In addition, Woodside on the Move will assist seniors who have a gross income of $18,000 or less prepare their taxes.

The group says it will help low-income residents claim refunds and credits, including the earned income tax credit, which can be worth over $8,000 for families.

Those interested in the service should bring along all pertinent documents, including:

– Photo IDs
– Social Security cards or a letter from the SSA
– W’2s and 1099 forms
– Form 1095-A (health insurance premium tax credit)
– Childcare expense records
– Routing and account numbers for direct deposit
– Form 1098-T if tuition was paid for post-high school education

All services are available until April 12, and appointments can be scheduled for by calling Woodside on the Move at 718-467-8449.

Appointments for non-seniors can be made for Mondays and Thursdays only from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. at WOTM’s offices, located at 39-42 59th St.

Senior assistance will be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the same time and locations, beginning February 13.

Spanish-speaking preparers are available upon request.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside.
