How We Can Help You

What we can and cannot do

Our counselors are trained in many aspects of tax law, but there are a few situations we cannot handle. Check this link to verify that we can help you. Please note that we file all tax returns electronically unless there is an IRS requirement or MD Comptroller legal requirement to file a paper return.

We have 17 county sites that are open to the general public and 3 that are limited to the residents of those communities.  To see what is near you check this link.
