Tax Preparation for Palm Beach Residents at $0 Cost

Getting your taxes filed free, fast, and safe has never been easier!

United Way of Palm Beach County’s Taxes Filed Free program partners with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide free, confidential, and secure preparation and e-filing of tax returns to qualified taxpayers. To qualify, taxpayer’s income must have been $70,000 or less in 2022. You may be eligible for up to $6,935 in Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC).

The Taxes Filed Free Campaign gives you two options to choose from to e-file your tax return. All options are supported by IRS-Certified Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) volunteers.

Filed Yourself – Visit www.MyFreeTaxes.com and file your own tax return. It’s simple, fast and secure. Support is available via toll-free helpline or web chat.

Filed For You – Face-to-face tax preparation is provided at several VITA county sites. No appointment is needed.

Please bring the following items to the VITA sites to make it easier to prepare your return:
