SELF PREP OPTION

Between late January and November 15th each year, you can prepare and file your own federal tax returns for free if your income is less than $89,000. For more information, go to: http://ctadc.org/file-online/

VIRTUAL ASSISTANCE OPTION

Virtual Preparation & Review (Feb 1-April 5)

With the virtual option, you will use a weblink to create an account, answer questions and upload documents into a secure environment (Get Your Refund). Volunteers will contact with you via text, email or phone (based on your preferences). After your return is completed, a Quality Reviewer will reach out to you to go over your tax return on the phone. You will receive the completed return electronically and electronically "sign" the return.

Before connecting with us virtually, make sure your tax situation is in scope for our program by answering a few questions.
