WAMY Offers Help
With Tax Returns
r r w w ■ w vvrw
Preparing Federal and
State income taxes is often
confusing and complicated.
For this reason WAMY
Community Action is offering
its trained tax volunteers to
help lower income families
and individuals with their tax
returns. The service is offered
free.
Families earning up to
SBOOO and having one or more
children living in the home
may be eligible for a special
tax reduction or refund on
their federal tax return. This
new tax rule is called the
Earned Income Credit. It is
explained on page 18 of the
Instructions for Preparing
Short Form 1040A, or on page
8 of the Instructions for Form
1040 (long form). WAMY
volunteers have been trained
to be able to explain this new
rule as well as answer other
questions about* state and
federal taxes.
Questions may be tele
phoned to WAMY at 682-2610
or you may phone for an
appointment and then come to
WAMY’s Office over Pol

Asheville for senior citizens.
The 12-passenger bus will
leave Burnsville every Tues
day at 10 a.m. Senior Citizens
are encouraged to arrange
doctor appointments and
other business in Asheville so
that they can take advantage
of this service. Interested
persons should call WAMY at
682-2610 **
Another very important
way that churches can minis
ter to senior citizens and sick
members is by taping worship
services and taking them to
the homes of these persons.
Martin’s Chapel and Windom
United Methodist Churches
have been doing this for over
a year. Each church bought a
small cassette tape recorder
and tapes two services each
month on a 120 minute
cassette tape. One 1-hour
service can be recorded on
each side of the tape. A list of
persons to receive the tape is
passed around through the
congregation allowing mem
bers to volunteer to deliver
the tape. A volunteer will take
the recorder and tape from
the church to the first person
to receive it, then about three
days later, another volunteer
will pick up the tape at the
hon>g r of tbg first person and
tahrMt to another. This
method enables the senior
citizen who is homebound to
hear the services of his or her
own church, and also receive
a visit from a member. This
has been very successful and
is recommended to other
churches.
