Are you like me and procrastinating your taxes until the very last second? Maybe you’ve been extremely busy and haven’t had a minute to get to it. Maybe you really detest doing it and you’re thinking of ways to bribe yourself to get it done. Maybe you need help to file, but you don’t have the money to pay a professional. I happen to fit into all three categories, and I think a lot of us do.
Hope just may be on the horizon. Walmart Foundation, One Economy, and United Way have teamed up to create MyFreeTaxes.com, which allows consumers who make under $57,000 annually to prepare and file their federal and state taxes free of charge.
In addition, this organization has placed agents throughout the nation to help with in-person filing questions, so you don’t have to go through the website if that’s not your cup of tea. These experts are able to help you identify all your potential refunds and their purpose is to help you get the most back you possibly can from your taxes this year.
Now, I’m not very tech-savvy, and I don’t even have a cell phone (I know—gasp) but there’s also a gizmo that will appeal to those of you who do live in the twenty-first century—there’s a free mobile phone app to help you figure out if you qualify for Earned Income Credit. You can check it out here.
So, if you’ve avoided doing your taxes because you’re concerned about the expense, this might be an answer for you. If you’re avoiding them because you’re busy and can’t fit them in, click here – that might help. But if you just hate them to pieces, well, I can’t really help you out with that. Just know that you’re not alone.
