United Way Financial Stability Partnership:
United Way is committed to improving financial stability. Part of this includes helping hardworking people obtain free tax preparation and filing services as well as qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and other credits. Last year, this helped return almost $2 billion in total tax refunds to individuals and families, who often used those dollars to pay bills and purchase necessities, such as food and clothing. It also saved people nearly $200 million in paid tax preparer fees.
You may qualify for the free tax preparation and filing services in two ways!
1. If you earned less than $57,000 in 2010, then you qualify to file your federal and state taxes online for FREE! Go to http://www.myfreetaxes.com/atlanta TODAY!!!

2. If you earned less than $48,000 in 2011, then you qualify to receive FREE in-person assistance and filing of your federal and state taxes.
IRS certified and trained volunteers are available to assist you in completing and filing your taxes at multiple sites throughout metro Atlanta. The volunteers will also assist you in determining whether you qualify for special tax credits such as Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Credit for the Elderly.
