Are you using a paid tax preparer this tax season?
Does paid tax assistance seem out of reach or inaccessible to you?
Across Wisconsin, trained volunteers will prepare your taxes free of charge if you qualify. And you can use direct deposit to get a fast, free refund provided the site offers electronic filing (e-filing).
At volunteer tax preparation sites, operated in partnership with the IRS, Department of Revenue and AARP, trained community volunteers offer free tax counseling and basic income tax return preparation. They can help you with special tax credits for which you may qualify and many sites offer free e-filing. Volunteer tax preparation sites are located at community and neighborhood centers, libraries, schools, shopping malls and other convenient locations--even at some credit unions! Locate a volunteer tax assistance site near you.
Free tax assistance is available for:
• Low- to moderate-income individuals
• Individuals with disabilities
• Non-English speaking taxpayers
• The elderly
• Individuals who qualify for homestead credit or the earned income credit. Find out if you qualify for tax credits
