FiveCAP assists with applications for Home Heating Credit, deadline Sept. 30
MANISTEE COUNTY — With the Sept. 30 deadline approaching to file for the Michigan Home Heating Credit, community support workers at FiveCAP, Inc. are available to prepare the application, along with a tax return for income-eligible residents who have not yet filed.
An appointment is required for this service, and should be made as soon as possible to ensure the service can be provided before the deadline.
FiveCAP offers free tax preparation services to low-income residents throughout the year. Many residents who qualify for tax credits aren't required to fill out income tax returns, which results in missed opportunities.
"A lot of people think the April 15 deadline applies to all tax returns and credits, but it's only applicable if you owe money back to the government," said FiveCAP Executive Director Mary Trucks.
To apply for the credit, residents must supply their 2013 income, as well as documentation of how much they spent on heating costs between Nov. 1, 2012, and Oct. 31, 2013.
For more information, or to schedule an appointment, call FiveCAP at (231) 723-8327, or stop by the Manistee County office, located at 265 First St., in Manistee.
