Filing Your Tax Return

Individual Income Taxpayer Assistance

To locate the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) nearest you phone 800-906-9887.
Kentucky Department of Revenue has again partnered with the IRS to provide free tax preparation for taxpayers who have a low to moderate income (generally, $54,000 and below) who can not prepare their own tax returns for tax year 2015. This threshold is based on tax year 2015 earned income tax credit and adjusted gross income. See this page for more information.

General assistance is available by telephone on individual income tax filing: 502-564-4581; Text Telephone TTY: (502) 564-3058; or by email at their 'Contact Us' webpage.

Live Tax Help is generally available Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4:00pm. At other times the link can be used to send a request or inquiry via email. Operators will not ask for, and you should not provide, any personal information such as full name, date of birth, social security number or tax account numbers. For specific account information, you can contact (502) 564-4581.
