Free Tax Preparation Services

Eligible New Yorkers can file their taxes for free at a City-sponsored NYC Free Tax Prep site.

​

Eligibility is dependent on income and parental status. If you are eligible, you can meet

one-on-one with an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) certified volunteer preparer who can

help you file your taxes, including filing prior year returns or amended returns, and apply

for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

​

An ITIN is a tax processing number issued by the IRS to foreign nationals and others who

have federal tax reporting or filing requirements and do not qualify for Social Security

numbers.

The IRS has strong privacy protections in place to ensure that immigrants who

report their income and file their taxes are not at risk of having their information shared.

The IRS is generally prohibited from disclosing taxpayer information, including to other

federal agencies.
