Village Voice: Here's what you need to know about filing 2015 Ada income tax

It's tax season and the Village of Ada utilizes the services of Central Collection Agency (CCA), Division of Taxation, for municipal income tax issues. 

If taxpayers have filed municipal taxes in years past, you are may be accustomed to receiving a tax package, including tax forms, from CCA each January.

In the interest of reducing costs, CCA will no longer mail forms directly to you. You may receive an informational postcard in the mail from CCA, explaining the change to you.

The Village/Water office now has copies of the 2015 tax forms available. We will also be providing the Ada Public Library with a limited number of forms.
