Senator Sanders presents Free Tax Preparation at his District Office!

Why pay to get your taxes filed for a charge when you can be eligible to have an IRS-certified volunteer prepare your return at no cost. If your income is under $54,000, you can have your taxes prepared for free at a Senator Sanders District Office located at 142-01 Rockaway Blvd, Jamaica, NY 11436 beginning Friday, February 4^th from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. then continuing bi-weekly.

Find out if you are eligible for Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). If you worked last year and your income is less than $53,505 you may be entitled to EITC which can mean up to a $6,269 refund when you file a return and have qualifying children. Workers with no qualifying children could be eligible for a smaller credit, up to $506. On average, EITC adds $2,400 to refunds. Volunteers trained by the Internal Revenue Service ask you the needed questions to find out if you qualify for the EITC and other refundable tax credits.
