United way FREE Tax Preparation 2023

    Get your Taxes done right, and get them done for FREE. The United Way has volunteers with more experience, training, and expertise than you’ll find trying to charge you a couple hundred dollars or more for the same service. You can call 211 and get answers to tax questions or you can go to their website at The United Way Tax Prep and enter your local zip code and find their tax prep locations nearest you.

    There’s the option of doing them yourself like Turbo Tax where you just enter all of your information and follow the easy steps, or you can choose to have your taxes prepared for you. Entering your zip code will give you options of where to go and take your W2s etc. This is a drop-off option, and as there are many people taking advantage of this FREE service you’ll probably have to drop off your files and wait a week or more for them to be completed and they’ll call you to pick up your paper versions. They’ll file electronically and give you a paper version, just remember to bring along a voided check with your banking information, routing number account number, and address.

    Filing electronically should get you your refund in about two weeks. Bonus perk, they will also do your city taxes for you as well.

    All in all, getting your taxes done right and also for FREE is more than a good deal even if it takes a couple weeks longer it’s worth it.

    If your family earns too much this FREE service will not be available so call the 211 number and see if you qualify.
