Now that January is nearing its end, you may be starting to receive some interesting pieces of mail that only come along once a year. We’re speaking, of course, of the delightful W2s and other documents that happily remind you tax preparation season is soon to arrive. The IRS isn’t generally the best place to go looking for deals, discounts, and freebies. If you think you’ve found a freebie when it comes to your taxes, we advise you to make sure that it isn’t immediately followed up by a visit to one of our prisons.
If you live in Marion County and made less than $58,000 in income last year, however, we actually do have a tax preparation freebie for you.
The city of Indianapolis is currently offering its FREE tax preparation service to those Cheapsters who fall within that category. More than 200 certified volunteers are on hand at more than 25 locations around the county to help you prepare your tax returns. Last year, that service saved Marion County residents around $650,000 in tax preparation fees. We know from experience how complicated and frightening tax returns can be, and this FREE service can offer you piece of mind and quality help if you qualify.
