Persons making under $64,000 may also self-prepare their taxes at http://myfreetaxes.com.
Low to moderate income working families may be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a refundable federal credit.
The IRS estimates one-fourth of eligible people could miss out on the EITC because they don’t know about it, don’t know that they qualify, or don’t know where to find free tax filing assistance.
CADC’s certified volunteer tax preparers work one-on-one with taxpayers to ensure they receive the tax credits for which they qualify. Sites also provide information on financial education, MyRA, a federal retirement savings program, and US Savings Bonds.
Customers can split refunds into multiple accounts, or if they don’t hold a bank account, can receive their refund on a debit card.
Persons utilizing the sites should bring their family’s Social Security Cards, picture ID, W-2/1099s, insurance information, a copy of last year’s return, bank account information for direct deposit or splitting a refund to several accounts, and any other pertinent information.
