United Way offers 2 FREE tax preparation programs to serve SW Florida!
You can have your federal tax return prepared, e- filed and direct deposited for FREE by United Way’s IRS-certified volunteers who are passionate about taxes. Volunteers will determine if you are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credits, Childcare Credits and/or Education Credits when you file.
Please note: we do simple returns. We cannot do returns that have rental income; or self-employment income at a loss, with expenses that exceed $50,000, have business use of the home, or with employees. Please call 211 (or 239.433.3900) to see if you qualify.
