Need Help Filing Your Taxes?

The federal tax filing season deadline for your 2011 federal tax return is April 17, 2012.  The following free services are available to answer your questions or help you prepare your tax returns. 

FREE TAX PREPARATION FOR YOU BY VOLUNTEERS
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and dedicated volunteers provide several tax preparation resources that help low income individuals and seniors meet their tax filing requirements.  
 
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
The VITA Program generally offers free tax help to people who make $50,000 or less and need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation to qualified individuals in local communities. They can inform taxpayers about special tax credits for which they may qualify such as Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled. VITA sites are generally located at community and neighborhood centers, libraries, schools, shopping malls, and other convenient locations. Most locations also offer free electronic filing.
 
Find a VITA site near you or call 1-800-906-9887.
 
 
Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE)
The TCE Program offers free tax help for all with priority assistance to people who are 60 years of age and older, specializing in questions about pensions and retirement issues unique to seniors. IRS-certified volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from the IRS.
 
Find an AARP Tax-Aide site near you or call 1-888-227-7669 for more information on TCE
 
 
Facilitated Self-Assistance
In addition to traditional face-to-face tax preparation, the IRS is launching a self-assistance service at select locations. If individuals have a simple tax return and need a little help or do not have access to a computer, they can visit one of the participating tax preparation sites and an IRS-certified volunteer will guide them through the process.
