Dear Constituents,

It's tax time! The NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection seeks your help spreading the word about our NYC Free Tax Prep program to the New Yorkers you serve.

NYC Free Tax Prep provides trusted, professional filing by IRS certified VITA/TCE volunteer preparers. To use NYC Free Tax Prep, your constituents must:

• Earn $97,000 or less (with qualifying children and/or dependents) or $68,000 or less (without qualifying children and/or dependents).
• Have a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
• Live or work in New York City.

Using NYC Free Tax Prep, filers can also get help to:

• File an amended or prior-year return.
• Claim important tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
• File required quarterly tax filings as well as their annual tax return if they are self-employed.

Even if your constituents aren't required to file, they may be eligible to claim the EITC and other tax credits that can return money to them as a tax refund.

To get the money, they must file a tax return.
