Thomasvillle Provides Free Tax Prep Services

“Tax preparation for free” sounds too good to be true, but for nine years Thomasville Rotarians and other community volunteers have been delivering just that to local retired residents with low to moderate income. Since its start, the program has served more than 2800 individuals/families and resulted in direct refunds of over $1,820,000 to those people.

Tax-Aid is delivered through a partnership of the IRS, Volunteers in Tax Assistance, Rotary Club of Thomasville, Thomas County Library, Envision Credit Union, Thomas University and community volunteers. It provides tax preparation to individuals whose income is from pensions and/or Social Security. 

Thomasville Rotarians Scott Rich and Jason Goldman and other volunteers begin assisting clients in February each year and devote one day a week through the tax season. This year it is expected the program will serve approximately 275 clients with refunds to those served estimated at about $144,200 from Federal & $89,600 from Georgia for a total of approximately $234,000.

Scott Rich, a longtime member of Rotary and past club president, said “the Tax-Aid program fits well with Rotary’s mission of doing good in the community.”
