Update: Tax Incentive for Volunteer Firefighters and EMS workers

Recently I have found out there is an NY State tax incentive that you can file for. When filing your NYS income tax for 2007 remember to use form IT-245 to claim your $200 or $400 Tax Credit for volunteering as FF or Ambulance Worker.
