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:

Last year’s Federal Income Tax Return (2021 income tax returns)
Social Security Cards for you, your spouse (if married), and all dependents
Correct birth dates for all names that appear on the return
All W-2’s for 2022, including spouses
Form 1098 – Mortgage interest, property taxes
Form 1099 – DIV, G, INT, MISC, Q, R, RRB, SSA for 2022
Voided check and savings account number for direct deposit of your refund (This is optional, but it gets your cash to you fast)
A Photo ID card (driver’s license, etc.), including spouse’s, if married and filing joint returns
For Dependent Care Credit, bring care provider’s name, address, SSN/EIN, and amount you paid.
For Education Credit, bring 1098T or 1098E and amount paid for qualified expenses.

If married and filing a joint return, both spouses must come to the VITA site.
