If your household makes less than $57K per year, you are eligible to get free tax preparation by trained professionals.
With the financial hardships many have experienced this past year, we are always looking out for opportunities to provide assistance. That’s why we’re excited to tell you about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a credit which you likely qualify for if your household earns up to $57,000 a year, and puts an average of $2600 back in taxpayers’ pockets!
This program is made possible by non-profit Goodwill Tulsa and Tulsa Responds. This partnership will deliver these free tax preparation services for the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA).
Unlike paid preparers, who aren’t required to have a license, VITA volunteers are trained extensively and must certify through the IRS annually. In addition, all tax returns are reviewed by at least one other preparer before they’re submitted, which helps maintain accuracy rates higher than 90 percent.
This is your money. You’ve already paid it to the Federal Government in taxes, and you’re entitled to get it back. To get the credit you just need to file your taxes, which you can do at no cost thanks to the certified tax preparers at Goodwill VITA.
Starting February 1 you can submit your tax documents either in person at several locations around Tulsa, or virtually at GetYourRefund.org/Tulsa using the camera on your smartphone or a computer.
If you’d like information on EITC or how to file your taxes for free, go to GetYourRefundTulsa.org or email getyourrefundtulsa@tulsaresponds.org.
Debido a las dificultades financieras que muchos de nosotros hemos experimentado el año pasado, seguimos buscando oportunidades para brindarle asistencia. Es por eso que nos complace informarle sobre el Crédito Tributario por Ingreso del Trabajo (EITC), un crédito para el que probablemente califique si su hogar gana menos de $ 57.000 al año y que devolverá un promedio de $ 2600 al contribuyente.
Este es su dinero. Ya lo pagó al Gobierno Federal en impuestos y tiene derecho a recuperarlo. Para obtenerlo tan sólo necesita presentar sus impuestos anuales, lo cual puede hacerse sin costo gracias a los preparadores de impuestos certificados de Goodwill VITA.
A partir del 1 de febrero, podrá enviar sus documentos fiscales a varios lugares en Tulsa o presentarlos en persona, o virtualmente en GetYourRefund.org/Tulsa utilizando la cámara de su teléfono inteligente o una computadora.
Si desea obtener información sobre el EITC o cómo presentar sus impuestos de forma gratuita, visite GetYourRefundTulsa.org o envíe un correo electrónico a getyourrefundtulsa@tulsaresponds.org.
