NYCHA Residents: Here’s Where to Find Free Tax Prep 

LaToya

Tax season is underway. Public housing residents and Section 8 voucher holders can file taxes for free using NYC Free Tax Prep, which provides trusted and professional filing assistance to eligible households and single filers. If your household earns $85,000 or less, or if you’re a single filer earning $59,000 or less, you qualify for this invaluable service. Learn how you can file for free, including from the comfort of your own home, with the help of IRS-certified VITA/TCE volunteer preparers. 

Visit the interactive map to find in-person, drop-off, and assisted online self-preparation services: NYC Free Tax Prep Sites. 

The deadline to file taxes is April 15, 2024, so don’t delay. Visit nyc.gov/taxprep or call 311 for more information and start your tax preparation journey today.
