Monday, February 6, 2012.I was standing in line in front of the Equity building at 5:05am today. The line wrapped around the block toward Times Square. I was standing in front of the McDonalds that was still serving dinner to very rough looking Giants fans, finishing up their Super Bowl revelry.
Why?
Here's what they say:
Members of AEA, AFTRA & SAG who have a paid-up union card with them may obtain worksheets, make appointments and even get their taxes prepared, if they're ready. The line will form as usual in the early hours and we will let people in and upstairs at 8 am to begin the process.
165 West 46th St - 14th Floor New York, NY 10036 212-921-2548 Office Hours: 10:30 am – 4 pm – starting Monday February 6, 2012 VITA is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (never on Tuesday)
Do you all know about this? It's amazing. I got in the big line today because it's the first day that they accept appointments. I get in line, every year, on the first Monday in February to sign up for a future appointment. Mine is in a few weeks.
But even if you don't go today, you can show up during the hours/days above, and wait for a turn. They see up to 10 people a day.
Free! Taxes, done by experts. What a great perk of being a union member!!
