Rossen Reports: Take advantage of these free tax filing programs
Hi. Yeah, there's *** new report out from the national taxpayer advocate and I find it very interesting. I think you will to 70% of taxpayers 70% qualify for the I. R. S. Free file program. But guess what? Only 2% of you used it during the last filing season. We want you to avoid paying fees to Cps and software. They're great. But if you don't need to better that money in your pocket, basically the I. R. S. Partners with the Free File Alliance, it's made up of *** bunch of tax preparation companies like Taxslayer and Tax Act. If you make $73,000 or less, you qualify. All you have to do is come here to the free file page on ir Rs dot gov. The site will do all the math for you and file your taxes for free. Some name brand tax prep sites like TurboTax and H and R block. You heard of them? They offer free services as well. But those are often for people who have really simple tax returns. So if you have really simple tax return that may be good for you But not if you have complex credits and deductions that you need to take and let me throw two more free programs at you. And again, the key here is free one is the volunteer income tax assistance geared toward people who make less than $60,000 *** year, have *** disability or who struggle with English and the other is called tack counseling for the elderly. This is if you're 60 and older and you need assistance with retirement and pension related questions, I'm going to post links to all of these programs so you or someone you know, can take advantage. It's all going to be right now on my website and putting it right up right now, we're hitting post at Rawson Reports dot com. Hope it helps back to you.
