United
Way Logan County has announced recently-enhanced features to MyFree
Taxes that allow most filers to complete their taxes in under one
hour.
MyFreeTaxes.com is a safe, easy and completely free way for
individuals or families earning $66,000 or less to file their state
and federal taxes.
For the past nine years, United Way has partnered with H&R Block to
provide free tax filing services for federal and state taxes in all
50 states and the District of Columbia. Since that time, the
partnership has helped nearly a million people file their returns,
bringing more than $1 billion in refunds back to local communities.
“Tax season is a source of confusion and stress for most Americans,”
said Patti Becker, Administrative Director of the United Way of
Logan County “Many are worried they’ll make a mistake, won’t get
their full refund or will pay too much. With MyFreeTaxes, filers can
get support from IRS-certified specialists and cut down the time it
takes to complete their returns.”
When it comes to advanced technology and personalized customer
experience, H&R Block is among the industry leaders. MyFreeTaxes
users get access to H&R Block Premium Product with enhanced features
to ensure filers get every dollar they deserve:
