Liberty Tax Service Offers Extended Hours and Help for Last Minute Filers

Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) April 14, 2011

The last minute tax filing rush is on, and Liberty Tax is offering extended hours to accommodate customers through the April 18 deadline. Unemployed and financially challenged taxpayers who owe this year and are worried about their ability to pay to examine enhanced options offered by the IRS. The IRS has expanded the offer-in-compromise program that allows a settlement of the taxpayer’s tax liability for less than the full amount owed based on the individual’s current financial situation, income and future earning potential. Previously, the IRS determined the amount of the offer in compromise on the taxpayer’s earnings in prior years. Other options include paying the tax debt with a loan or credit card, or agreeing to pay through installments.

Liberty Tax Service is proud to announce the Chesterton recipient of the “My Refund Story/Double My Refund Contest,” a national promotion begun in January 2011 and finishing April 18, 2011. The national search was launched to find six of the most compelling stories and experiences from taxpayers receiving refunds this year.

Allyson Woodruff, Chesterton, IN, was one of the six entrants selected from more than 385 entries. Woodruff, who lives with her parents, has a three-year-old severely developmentally delayed son and two-year-old daughter. To provide her son the level of care he needs from maintaining his feedings though his feeding tube to helping him learn to move on his own, Woodruff is unable to work. Woodruff’s son has never had a medical diagnosis. To view her story, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwJdTyfe6Q8.

“During these challenging economic times, we are very excited to help find the most deserving recipients get some extra money at tax time,” added John Hewitt, CEO and founder of Liberty Tax Service.

“I want to thank Liberty Tax for choosing me and my kids, and for doubling my refund,” said Woodruff in an interview. “It will make a whole lot of difference in our life and will help us get the things we will need. This is the most money I have ever had, at one time, in my entire life.”

Woodruff filed her taxes at Liberty Tax Service at 1679 E. 37th Avenue in Hobart, IN. It was there she heard about the online contest.
