Providing Free Tax Preparation to Our Community
Earn It! Keep It! Save It! provides free tax preparation to low- to moderate-income Bay Area households. More than 3,600 highly trained volunteers comprise the backbone of this program, preparing returns for 60,000 households in 2011. In 2011, we brought $63.8 million back in refunds to our community.
Ensuring People Get the Refunds We Deserve
At the forefront of an Earn It! Keep It! Save It! tax preparer’s mind is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a refundable credit given to low-wage workers. The EITC can be well over $5,000, yet it is often not claimed because people do not know about it, or it can cost money to prepare the additional form. Earn It! Keep It! Save It! helped secure roughly $20 million for residents through the EITC.
