Cornell Cooperative Extension announces drop off tax prep for seniors

As part of the response plan to COVID-19, Cornell Cooperative Extension Madison County (CCEMC) announces changes to its IRS Grant Funded Free Income Tax Preparation program for Madison County seniors 60 years & older. Effective today, all CCE MC satellite sites for Tax Preparation are closed and the program is moving to a drop off/mail return process at a single access point. This minimizes risk by ensuring as little physical contact as possible between seniors, IRS Certified Volunteers, and association staff. At the same time, it allows the CCEMC to continue to serve the seniors that have come to rely on this program. Madison County seniors that have already scheduled appointments through CCEMC will receive phone calls with information on how to proceed. Madison County seniors that are interested in the program and have not yet made arrangement to participate, need to call the CCEMC office at (315)684-3001. .
