“Every year since 2009, the United Way and the Allegheny County nonprofit Just Harvest have come together to lead the Free Tax Prep Coalition, which has volunteers at nearly two dozen community sites each year helping about 9,000 households making less than $65,000 a year file their taxes.
The program does more than save lower-income people from paying tax preparation fees and worrying about making costly errors on their return. Its IRS-certified volunteers and staff also ensure that taxpayers access all the tax credits and deductions to which they are entitled. To date, Free Tax Prep volunteers and staff have saved well over $30 million in tax preparation fees and more than $200 million in tax refunds.”
