Free Tax Preparation
Why pay for something you can get for free? FREE Tax preparation is available for taxpayers with a household income of less than $58,000. PLUS many taxpayers may qualify for credits that could generate a larger refund, that's more money for you!
The goal of the free tax preparation sites is to ensure that more eligible households receive their full refunds rather than paying preparation fees that can cost between $100 and $200!
Don't leave money on the table are you eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)? The average EITC award was around $2000 and as many as 20% of eligible filers did not claim EITC benefits.
This year, working families with three or more children and an income less than $52,427 (if married and filing a joint return) may be eligible for a maximum Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) of $6,143.
File your taxes, claim your earned credits and get the refund owed to you!
