Kelly,

Please don’t forget the AARP Tax-Aide services. We provide free assistance (in most cases with free e-filing) to all taxpayers with returns within the scope of our training (unfortunately, small business owners, if you file a schedule C we can’t help you). Although we like to focus on taxpayers over age 60 and on younger low-income taxpayers, we take all clients on a first-come, first-serve basis. This will be my fourth year working as a volunteer with the program; and, in my humble opinion, it’s GREAT!

Interesting fact. 70% if filers claiming the EITC pay a tax preparer and likely would not have claimed the credit otherwise. The typical retail fee is more than $300 – before other fees like instant refund. The average EITC filer earns about $24,000 for whom $300 is huge – maybe a few weeks worth of groceriees at Walmart.
