TAX SEASON 2013
During the tax season, Ariva operates free tax preparation sites which are open to the public at 167th Street in the South Bronx and University Neighborhood Housing Program in the northwest Bronx. Ariva also operates free tax preparation sites at Hostos Community College, Bronx Community College, Fifth Avenue Committee in Brooklyn, and several Bronx-based bank branches and nonprofit sites. Ariva also provides free tax preparation at our South Bronx site throughout the year. We can help you file 2012 and previous years’ returns, resolve issues with the IRS or NYS Tax Department, apply for an ITIN and more.
ALERT: Due to storm conditions, all Ariva tax sites are closed on Saturday, 2/9/13. Stay safe and warm.
