The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) is offering free tax preparation and encouraging New Yorkers who earned $72,000 or less in 2021 to file for free using NYC Free Tax Prep.
NYC Free Tax Prep offers free, professional tax preparation that can help New Yorkers keep their full refund, including valuable tax credits like the Child Tax Credit (CTC), Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child and Dependent Care Credit (CDCC).
The American Rescue Plan increased the value and eligibility of these credits meaning more money for more people this tax season. The IRS has started accepting returns and taxes are due by April 18.
