Save time, money, frustration

You may qualify for free, online, tax preparation: Filing assistance opportunities.

We want you to get a tax refund this year! That is why we are urging you to find out about the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The EITC provides tax relief for low income workers. Our site will show you how to determine if you qualify for the EITC and how you can get help filing your taxes.

Don't pay to have your taxes done. Call 211 to find the location of the nearest FREE tax preparation site.

Don't pay to borrow your own money. Commercial tax preparers will tempt you to take advantage of "Fast Cash Refunds", "Express Money", or "Instant Refunds". Don't be fooled. Learn how these gimmicks can cost you big money.

In Tennessee an estimated 31,600 people who were due a refund in 2000, failed to file a tax return. And some of those may be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit! Go to Unclaimed Refunds for the whole story.
