Free Tax Preparation Help and the EITC


It’s tax season again!  If you haven’t filed your tax return yet I’d like to let you know about a FREE resource for you to take advantage of.  The Food Bank for New York City is offering several free tax preparation resources throughout the city.  In addition to helping you file your tax return, they will also help identify which tax credits you qualify for.  The Earned Income Tax Credit can be worth more than $7000 depending on the number of people in your family. 

They have free tax preparation sites available throughout each of the city’s 5 boroughs. 
For information on where to find the site nearest to you, please call 311 or 212-566-7855.

You can also visit the Food Bank’s website at www.foodbanknyc.org/go/taxhelp.  You can find all the tax site locations as well as a free calculator to see how much you can get back from the EITC.
