IRS Free File System
Wednesday, February 23, 2011
U.S. Rep. Steven C. LaTourette (R-Bainbridge Township) today
announced that constituents in his district might be eligible for
free, tax preparation services through the IRS Free File
program.
The Free
File program, which began in 2003, is available to those with a
2010 adjusted gross income of $58,000 or less.
To take advantage of this program, go to the IRS website and then click on the
"Free File" icon. This should take you to a list of 19 member
companies that are part of the Free File Alliance. Three of
the commercial tax preparation software companies also offer
services in Spanish.
"Free File software not only increases accuracy but delivers a
quick turn-around on tax refunds, getting it to you in as little as
10 days," said Tim Hugo, executive director of the Free File
Alliance.
LaTourette said the Free File
Alliance has partnered this year with the IRS Volunteer
Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA), a service for low-to-moderate
income taxpayers.
