- Tax time can be the right time to add money to your income.
Tax-filing season can be an opportunity for individuals and families at specific income levels to get ahead. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and related child care and education credits can provide hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars in tax refunds to workers.
- But you can only receive a refund if you file a tax return.
Free tax preparation by IRS-trained volunteers is available during the tax filing season. Certified preparers will determine if you qualify for tax credits and refunds and will help you file your tax forms so that you receive the money as soon as possible. No preparation fees or rapid refund costs will be charged so you will receive your full refund.
- Call 2-1-1 to locate a free tax preparation site.
Information and support are available to help you make your income go further. Trained volunteers at the tax preparation sites also will be able to assist you in building a budget, applying for credit repair assistance, learning about programs to save for a home, education, or to start a business and much more.
- Think about saving and growing all or a portion of your refund.
If you self-prepare your tax forms, review and file using IRS publication 596.
