Free Income Tax Preparation

“We are proud to offer free tax filing in our community again this year. We’ve been able to help so many area families save thousands of dollars in tax preparation expenses through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. We prepared 2,370 tax returns during the 2012 tax season, and returned over $3.5 million dollars to our community,” according to Lana Winfrey, Director of the Income division at United Way.

This year a new service is available. Families who have adjusted gross income of $57,000 or less can use the following link to self-prepare and e-file tax returns for free, by accessing www.myfreetaxes.com/texoma . Region 9 Service Center will offer the use of their computer lab to anyone interested in taking advantage of this service.
