Across the Bay Area, at more than 200 free tax sites, IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers help individuals and families claim their maximum tax refunds and access other important services.
United Way partners with hundreds of community organizations other free tax preparation providers such as Tax-Aid and AARP Tax-Aide to process almost 50,000 tax returns each year.
In 2010, we returned more than $57 million to more than 51,000 Bay Area families.
We provide low- to moderate-income households with free, quality tax return preparation and access to services that can help them build savings and assets. In addition, the program helps families avoid predatory “Rapid Refund” loans that are promoted by many commercial tax preparers.
We also ensure eligible taxpayers claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) which can amount to as much as $5,600 per family.
