If you need help with your tax returns this year, you may be able to get some assistance for free from students at the University at Buffalo!  IRS-certified accounting students from the University at Buffalo School of Management will again provide free tax preparation services to individuals and families with annual incomes below $49,000.

The service can be especially valuable to low-income tax filers by helping them apply for earned income-tax credits that can provide a needed boost in annual income. The tax credits, which can reduce or completely eliminate income taxes by refunding taxes already withheld from wages, can mean as much as $5,028 for a family with two children.

Free tax preparation will be offered from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis in 109 Allen Hall, South Campus, on Feb. 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27 and March 5 and 6. Services also will be offered in 106 Jacobs Management Center (The John H. Shellum Room), North Campus, on March 26, 27 and April 2, 3, 9 and 10.
