NYC Free Tax Prep for Individuals and Families

GetYourRefund.org is one virtual program that connects filers to NYC Free Tax Prep providers to have their returns completed for them. 

Steps:

1. Visit getyourrefund.org/nyc
2. Sign into your account.
3. Submit tax documents using your smartphone, tablet, or computer equipped with a camera.
4. After all necessary documentation is submitted, an IRS certified VITA/TCE volunteer preparer will verify your tax information and contact you.
   
5. After speaking with a quality reviewer over the phone and signing the final version of your return, your quality reviewer will send your return to the IRS.
   

Assisted Self-Prep allows filers to complete their tax return online on their own and an IRS-certified VITA/TCE volunteer preparer will be available by phone or email to answer questions. Filers will need access to a computer, tablet, or smartphone; a stable internet connection; an email address, and their 2024 adjusted gross income (AGI) or self-select PIN.
