Free tax prep for New Yorkers

NYC Free Tax Prep | NYC Department of Consumer Affairs

1. How it Works

If you earned $66,000 or less last tax year, the City can help you file your taxes for free. You can file online or, if you make under $54,000, you can file in person.

  • File your taxes by April 17, 2018
  • File in person or online
  • Free Tax Prep sites are open year-round to assist you
  • If you qualify for tax credits such as EITC, Child Tax Credit, or Child and Dependent Tax Credit you can claim them when you file
  • If you get a refund, the IRS mails your refund or deposits it into your bank account
  • If you file in person, some sites let you drop off your tax documents and pick up the completed return later
