LAST CHANCE
for FREE tax preparation
Who will do your income taxes? Dont spend hard-earned
money on commercial preparers that charge an average of $200 to help get
your own money. If you (and your spouse*) earn under the income ceiling
below, you may qualify for free tax filing assistance.
Last year, DC 37 helped over 800 members get $2.2 million in refunds at
no charge. Refunds were electronically filed and directly deposited within
10 days for most members. Attendance at the free clinics is up 68 percent
this year, but you can still qualify.
When your W-2 arrives, dont run to the nearest paid preparer. Find
a free tax prep center near your work or home: Call 1-866-924-3758, or
for the Spanish translation call 1-866-365-2737. Or visit www.dc37.net
on the Web.
Income ceiling: If you are filing with no children, you (and your spouse*)
must have earned less than $20,000 total in 2004. If you are filing with
children, you (and your spouse*) must have earned less than $40,000 total
in 2004.
* Note: Your spouses income must be included if you are filing jointly.
