Online Intake Process
The online intake process will utilize a form developed in partnership with Purdue and the United Way of Greater Lafayette. You won’t see LUM’s name on the form or the website, but we’ll still be the ones doing your taxes.
To complete the intake form, you will need to answer all the questions as completely as possible. At various points, you will also be prompted to upload documents, including copies of your:
- Photo ID
- Social Security Cards for all members of your household
- Any other relevant financial documents such as W2s, 1099s, and Social Security Benefit Statements
So take a moment now to gather all the documents you’re going to need. Use your phone to take photos of them. If you will be completing the form on a computer, you may want to email the photos to yourself or otherwise upload them to your computer.
The final question on the form will ask where you would like to pick up your tax return once it is complete. You MUST select Option 3: “In-person at Lafayette Urban Ministry.” Otherwise, we will not have access to your information.
Consent Forms:
Before proceeding to the intake itself, you first need to sign all of the consent forms required by the IRS and Lafayette Urban Ministry.
