Free Tax Preparation for Working Families
Low- to moderate-income working families and individuals in Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry counties can receive free tax preparation services until April 15 through the Money in Your Pocket Campaign (MIYP).
A community collaboration of organizations committed to the economic stability of local families, MIYP aims to increase use of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). The EITC is a tax refund offered by the federal government to supplement wages for low-income workers.
Tax Preparation Sites
Volunteers will prepare computerized, electronic returns through the Internal Revenue Service’s Volunteer Tax Income Assistance (VITA) program. Individuals and people who earned $55,000 or less last year may be eligible for the service. MIYP operates 15 sites throughout Cumberland, Dauphin and Perry counties.
