About our Free Tax Prep Program

Every year, Just Harvest helps low-income households file their income tax returns and maximize their tax refund. Launched in 2003, Just Harvest’s free IRS-certified tax return preparation service is now one of the largest in Pennsylvania.

Just Harvest also manages the Free Tax Preparation Coalition (sponsored by United Way of Southwestern PA), which provides free income tax return preparation throughout the region.

We are committed to providing high-quality free tax preparation to allow workers to keep the tax credits they’ve earned, not lose them to tax preparation fees and advance refund loans.

Our program has continuously expanded to meet the needs of communities in the Pittsburgh area. We have four tax sites that offer in-person tax help, ITIN application assistance, and interpretation services for Pittsburgh’s growing immigrant communities.
