The Missouri Department of Revenue’s new mobile unit will be in Poplar Bluff from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Friday to assist customers with tax, motor vehicle and driver licensing questions. The unit will be stationed inside the Family Support Division Resource Center at 1903 Northwood Drive.
The DOR launched the mobile unit earlier this year as part of a pilot program aimed at visiting eight county resource centers throughout Missouri. According to DOR Director, Ken Zellers, the mobile unit was designed to “bring expert, face-to-face assistance to Missourians who may not have access” to DOR services.
The Missouri Department of Social Services in each of the eight counties has offered their resource centers as locations to set up the mobile unit during the visits said Zellers.
DOR staff will he on hand to answer questions relating to property tax credits, current and past years’ individual income tax returns, withholding tax (W-4) forms, sales and use tax, withholding tax, motor vehicle titling and registration, REAL ID, driver license status and more.
Zellers wants to be sure participants understand that the mobile unit staff will not be able to conduct transactions for customers or assist with any tax preparation during their visit.
The DOR hopes to offer the mobile unit as a permanent resource to Missourians in the future if the pilot program proves successful.
