Free Tax Preparation Assistance

Do you want free help preparing your taxes and claiming tax credits that can help you pay less in taxes and possibly get up to thousands of dollars back from the government?


Quick Facts
What is it?
Free tax preparation assistance will help you to file and submit your New York City, State, and Federal income taxes and claim the Earned Income Tax Credit and other tax credits that allow you to pay less in taxes and possibly get up to thousands of dollars back from the government. Two hundred and thirty thousand New York City workers don't get the federal and state tax refunds that they are owed because they don't know about these credits and don't file their taxes. To get the money that you are owed, you must file your taxes and claim these tax credits. Tax preparation assistance sites provide quality tax preparation assistance entirely free of charge, to help you keep all of your money and get the most out of the available tax credits from the government.

What do I get?
When you make an appointment at one of the free tax preparation assistance sites, you will get quality help preparing and submitting your tax returns. Additionally, free tax preparation assistance will help you to get your entire tax credit without paying for preparation fees. If you are a low-income working individual, you should consider visiting a free tax preparation assistance site and not a commercial tax preparer who will charge you to file your tax return. Free tax preparation assistance sites can also help you to electronically file your tax return and have the funds directly deposited in your bank account free of charge.



Look Out
Keeping an Eye on Your Money
  • Commercial tax preparers charge $100+ on average to prepare your federal and state tax returns and to help you claim EITC and other tax credits.

  • 'Rapid Refunds' are really high-interest loans in which a commercial tax preparer gives you your tax refund in advance, in exchange for a higher fee.

  • The average EITC taxpayer who gets a 'rapid refund' pays about $250 to commercial tax preparers for all preparation services.

  • By getting free tax preparation assistance, you keep 100% of your EITC refund and don't have to pay any fees to tax preparers.
