'Forgotten' Mon<
The State of North Carolina has
S152.30 waiting for Ed and Pearl
Steele of Ocean Isle Beach.
It also has $17,049.78 for someone
named Arthur Piper. And it may
have some money that rightfully
belongs to you.
The annual "escheats" list, compiled
by the Department of the State
Treasurer, includes a number of persons
with Brunswick County ad
dresses for whom it has money from
unclaimed or abandoned bank accounts,
utility deposits, uncashed
checks and other assets.
Once the money is turned over to
the treasurer's office it is invested.
The interest goes to the State Education
Assistance Authority, which provides
loans to needy college-bound
students to attend state-supported
schools.
Last year, the state refunded more
than $1 million to 3,711 people.
Inquiries regarding unclaimed
money should be made to the N.C.

If the local response to free tax
assistance is any indication,
Brunswick County residents aren't
having problems filiyg their income
tax returns despite changes in
federal tax laws.
And according to Larry Nielsen,
assistant coordinator of the local
AARP-sponsored tax assistance program,
taxpayers here aren't waiting
until the last minute to seek help and
file their federal returns, with the
deadline less than a month away.
"Basically, the program is keyed
to the elderly, but we do help others,"
Nielsen said Friday. "This is the best
response we've had.
"We've had a good response from
February on," he added. "I think
really the elderly people like to get
their income taxes out of the way."
He noted that the busiest time for

early in the tax season, while
business actually drops off in early
April.
"During the last two weeks we
don't have much activity," he said.
"It's generally all in February and
March."
Nielsen estimated that volunteers
in the countywide program serves
about 20 taxpayers each week,
whether by filling out federal returns
or by simply answering questions.
The increased response is due, in
part, to the new tax laws, he noted.

However, even with the changes,
"it's actually not too difficult."
Most people who seek help "just
want to have their tax forms done is
all," he said. "They don't want to
tackle them themselves. They think
they're too complicated."
The tax assistance program, which
is in its sixth year here, began Feb. 9
at four sites in Brunswick County and
will continue until the April 15
deadline.
Nielsen said individuals needing
tax help can obtain assistance
without appointment at the West
Brunswick Branch Library in
Shallotte on Wednesdays from noon
until 4 p.m.; the Long Beach Community
Center on Wednesdays from 1
p.m. to 4 p.m.; and the Brunswick
County Library in Southport on
Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Assistance also is available, by appointment
only, on Wednesdays from
9 a.m. until noon at the program office
in the Brunswick County Courthouse
in Bolivia. Individuals can
call the Brunswick County Volunteer
and Information Center (253-4441) for
an appointment.
Persons who visit the sites for tax
help should bring along their W-2
forms and "all pertinent information"
dealing with their income and
expenses, as well as a copy of their
1986 federal tax return, Nielsen said.
Free assistance with state income
tax returns also is available at the
