Help at CHC

Income Tax Assistance

CHC coordinates this program in Centre County on behalf of the IRS. Volunteers who become certified IRS tax preparers are available between February and April 15 to help community members file their tax returns. These volunteers staff several sites throughout Centre County. Help is available in State College, Bellefonte, Philipsburg, Millheim, and Snow Shoe.

This free service is available to senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and people in low-income households. Volunteers are able to help you file your federal, state, and local tax returns, and also PACE and rent rebate forms.
