Free Tax Prep Offered at the Educational Alliance

Tax season is a pain in the balls, no two ways about it. So you can get on your knees and thank the Educational Alliance for their FREE tax prep program at the 232 East Broadway offices. The doors are open to the public for the financial service Wednesday mornings between February 6 and April 10, from 9am – 12pm.

From the Boogie mailbag:

Tax season can bring confusion and hassles, but the Educational Alliance’s free tax preparation service, sponsored by AARP, helps mitigate the seasonal stress. Every Wednesday from February 6 to April 10 from 9am – 12:30 pm, anyone can come by the Educational Alliance’s offices at 232 East Broadway and work with specialists to file their taxes.

Those interested should bring W-2 statements, bank statements, receipts and bills for claim, and bank information (if using direct deposit for your tax return). Filing is limited to simple filing (1090 short form) and excludes self-owned businesses with the exception of those with expenses below $5000, recent bankruptcies, and filing that requires more than 1 hour.

Those interested should bring two forms of identification – a social security card and a photo ID. A utility bill can also be used in place of photo ID.
