visit one of our Tax Labs and an IRS-certified coach will be there to answer questions along the way.
If you feel comfortable preparing
your own returns, use our free website to e-file your Federal and State returns from the comfort of your home or office. Just
visit www.myfreetaxes.com.
Volunteers
help individuals and families file their taxes. Free training is provided and schedules are flexible. Special emphasis is
placed on ensuring that taxpayers who are eligible receive the Earned Income Tax Credit, a federal benefit particularly for
families with children. Find out more.
The EITC is the largest
anti-poverty program in the nation. A family that qualifies for EITC can receive a tax refund of up to $6,557 on their 2019
tax return—money that does not have to be repaid and can significantly impact their household and help to build assets. However, millions of dollars of this tax credit typically go unclaimed every year;
estimates range from $8 to 12 million unclaimed locally each year. Find out more.
