Taxpayers with household incomes less than $52,000 can qualify for FREE tax help. A partnership between The Piton Foundation and the Western Colorado 211 is connecting residents to free tax preparation. Tax Help Colorado offers free tax preparation assistance to individuals who earn less than $52,000 a year, helping to ease the burden of commercial tax preparation costs on low-wage earners. The program was launched in 2007 to help link even more Colorado families to valuable tax credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
Residents
can visit the Tax Help Colorado tax site to get returns prepared and e-filed
for free by an IRS certified student. Or visit one of the four locations in Mesa

211 Director, Christie Higgins, states “Tax
assistance is available to residents from other Western Slope Counties by dialing
a 211 operator and they will connect callers to free tax help within their
local area.” Higgins also reminds filers
to ask about possible earned income tax credits, which may be available.
During
the 2014 tax season, Tax Help Colorado provided free tax assistance to more
than 10,400 individuals, helping them claim more than $20.6 million in tax
refunds. In addition, the program saved families nearly $2 million in
commercial tax preparation fees.
