Save Money. Maximize Your Refund.
Due to COVID-19 precautions, there was a limited capacity for free tax preparation this year, however, there are a few open appointments at this time. Call 2-1-1 or 1-800-478-2221 to schedule an appointment.
For do-it-yourself free tax filing options, visit IRS.gov or MyFreeTaxes.com.
The deadline to submit taxes has been extended to May 17th, 2021.

If you already have an appointment…
You will come to your scheduled appointment at a scanning site for a brief interview and have tax documents scanned. A tax preparer will prepare the return remotely and will call you if there are any questions during preparation. You will have a second appointment to sign and pick up the return when it’s finished.
