Getting assistance with your taxes does not have to cost you a dime. If you made less than $50,000 last year, check out the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program.
The program is sponsored by the IRS and it’s run by IRS-certified volunteers who go through tax training to prepare and file your taxes. Many volunteers also receive training that allows them to help filers in their specific states.
I compiled a huuuuuuge list of tax day freebies and discounts on my WalletPop blog. The list includes sweet treats at Cinnabon, Subway, and Maggie Moo’s, free coffee at Starbucks, free tacos at Taco del Mar, and a free 3-day trial to find love at Chemistry.com. Plus the post has tax day discounts at P.F. Chang’s, McCormick & Schmick’s, Kelly’s Running Warehouse, and a lot more.
Check out the April 15, 2010 tax day freebies here. Haven’t filed? File your income taxes for free. Or use this 30% off coupon to buy tax software. Remember to check out the new tax credits available this year.
If you’re getting money back, here are ideas for how to spend your refund.
