Free Online Tax Filing for California Returns
United Way has joined forces with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to offer Orange County California residents an opportunity to have their taxes prepared and filed for free through MyFreeTaxes if you have a simple return. It is a safe, secure way of filing and supports California taxpayers in increasing their refunds while saving money on tax preparation services.
Free tax filing services can benefit not just those who may have trouble affording the filing process, but also people who are unsure whether they need to file at all or who are looking to receive the EITC or CalEITC tax credits. You can feel confident that your taxes are being prepared accurately, and you are receiving all of the credits and refunds you qualify for.
Filing California State Taxes
Even when federal taxes can be filed for free, many people still must pay to file their California state taxes. However, with MyFreeTaxes, you can file state taxes for up to three states for free as well. This can further reduce costs and allow you to use your refund more effectively.
Taking Advantage of Free Filing
Orange County United Way’s OC Free Tax Prep has partnered with the IRS, and other local partners to make preparing and filing taxes as easy and affordable as possible in order to promote financial stability. Tax refunds play an integral role in stabilizing low- and moderate-income families and allowing them to better provide for their children.
