Sandy Tax Seminar Slated for Monday

Program will be held at Toms River's Ocean County Library branch on Monday

 

 

A tax assistance seminar aimed at helping those affected by Superstorm Sandy is coming to Toms River's Ocean County Library branch on Monday.

Organized by the state Treasury Department's Division of Taxation, the March 18 program from 6 to 8:15 p.m. will bring together representatives from that department, the governor's office and IRS together to help residents as they navigate the reporting of their Sandy-related losses.

"These tax assistance events will provide New Jersey residents with the opportunity to obtain free in-person guidance from tax professionals from the Division and the Internal Revenue Service on a wide range of Sandy-related issues," said State Treasurer Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff in a statement.

Representatives will also provide assistance to recover lost tax documents and reconstruct lost personal or business records. Office of Unclaimed Property personnel will be on-hand to aid with searches for such items as forgotten stock money, lost paychecks, and bank lock box contents.

Additionally, the state’s Division of Taxation, Local Property Tax office will answer questions about property tax and appeal rights due to damages caused by Sandy, according to the library.

A mobile computer lab with eight computers and free WiFi access for those who bring their own laptops or mobile electronics will be available for use, according to the library.

Registration can be completed onlinethrough email, or by calling 609-633-6015, though walk-ins are also welcome. 

Locally, the program will also come to Brick's Ocean County Library branch on Tuesday, March 26 from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

I had previously sent a comment, but culdn't remember my password so I don't know if it went thru. I had registered for this tax assistance event , but now I cannot attend. Is there someplace else I can get the assistance. I am currently living in Bergen County, but can go anyplace I can get the help. Thanks. This is a great idea.

Does anyone know when they will be having a seminar to educate Toms River Public Works Director Lou Ameruso on how to clean the filthy & disgusting streets of Ortley Beach (street sweepers) and how to patch the numerous potholes/craters in the streets of Ortley Beach?

Are there any other towns, further south, such as the Tuckerton area, that will have this seminar for the people that can't drive or can't afford to get up north??
