MORGANTOWN — Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., visited WV’s campus Friday, Feb. 20, to talk tax returns and make sure people know that some qualify for free assistance.
The Free File program is a public-private partnership. Through the program, those who earn $60,000 or less can use brand-name tax preparation software products to file federal and state returns for free.
West Virginia is one of 20 states, and the District of Columbia, that participate in the program.
“In the long run, it saves money for all of us,” Capito said.
It saves money for people doing their own taxes, and it saves the Internal Revenue Service money and reduces the mistakes, Capito said.
