With less than a month until Tax Day—April 18—the city is reminding New Yorkers that they can prepare their taxes for free granted their eligibility.
Just recently, the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection held a press conference reminding New Yorkers of the Free Tax Prep service. The conference was held in participation with several organizations that are assisting with the service, such as the Food Bank for NYC. Free Tax Prep allows eligible New Yorkers to retain their full refund, alongside tax credits such as Earned Income Tax Credit .
New Yorkers seeking this tax assistance can find their nearest site out of 120 located across all five boroughs. Virtual, self-help and drop-off services are available as well. “The Child Tax Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit, and Earned Income Tax Credit have all been expanded,” said Agnant. “Many people will now be eligible for the first time or for more money.”
The city also hosted outreach events and canvassed areas that are the most in need of this free service. According to DCWP, as of March 21, 97 of these efforts were completed. Agnant provided a table outlined with target areas of the city that have been a large focus of outreach campaigns. Some of these areas include several zip codes in Brooklyn and The Bronx.
