For 2020, there is no income limit to use the My Free Taxes Software. However, there are some limitations in terms of the types of returns it can prepare. Please check the link to ensure you qualify for the free program. MyFreeTaxes provides a self-guided approach and is easy to use.
VOLUNTEER SUPPORTED TAX PREPARATION SERVICES
(We prepare the tax return based on information you provide)
We recruit and train volunteers to prepare tax returns under the guidance of the IRS and our experienced Site Coordinators and Staff. Every one of our volunteers and staff has had to participate in the IRS training and certification program expressly designed for this program. We pride ourselves on delivering services that are Fast, Free and Life-Changing!
In order to qualify, your household income should be $66,000 or less. We offer tax preparation services year-round by appointment. Our regular tax filing season runs January through April and the off-season runs May - October 15th.
We are also able to assist with opening a direct deposit account for your tax refunds and provide you with information regarding additional financial education and empowerment services.
In order for us to assist you with preparing your returns, you will need to provide a picture ID for yourself and your spouse (if filing a joint return) and social security cards for all individuals (Yourself, Spouse and Dependents) included on the tax return.
