The State's Treasury Department's Division of Taxation has organized a number of tax assistance outreach events throughout February and March in towns affected by Hurricane Sandy, Gov. Chris Christie's office announced Thursday.
The events, scheduled during the height of tax season, are being held in towns that suffered heavy damage during Sandy as well as adjacent municipalities. The events will be located at libraries or other public buildings.
The events are scattered throughout Monmouth, Ocean and Bergen Counties.
The tax assistance events are free and residents can register online by visiting https://www.state.nj.us/treas/taxation/contactus_tytstormsandyrelief.shtml.. Residents can also email outreach.tax@treas.state.nj.us or call 609-633-6015 and leave a message, according to a release.
Experts will be on hand to assist residents with inquiries on how to report Sandy-related personal and business losses on their federal and New Jersey tax returns, as well as how to deal with property tax issues caused by Sandy-related property damage. Advice on how to recover lost tax tax documents or reconstruct lost personal or business records, as well as advice on other topics, will be available.
The events are supported by the AARP's Tax-Aide program and the IRS's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.
