2. In-person intake – for those that need language interpretation and extra supports

3. Electronic intake & document drop off.

You need to devote at least 1 hour for phone or in-person intake. We will call you and see whether a phone intake could be done, otherwise we will resort to option #2 in-person intake. We do not accommodate walk-ins.

To file your taxes by #3:  ELECTRONIC DROP-OFF, you will need to have internet access at home, have an email account, and some skills in uploading and downloading documents.

Below are 5 steps for electronic intake & drop off.

3. fill out the online intake form on your computer or device, and scan or take photos of your tax documents. You do NOT need to scan every single receipt. Please check this link to see which are important documents you should scan.

4. UPLOAD all scanned documents in the link that we provided to you in step #2. After you upload, email us back to tell us (1) you have uploaded your tax documents, and (2) state that: “I am giving New Journey Housing through the CVITP the authorization to file my 2022 income tax”.
