Annual income under 60K? United Way will prepare your taxes for you

United Way of King County is offering free tax preparation services to local households making under $60,000. Volunteers will prepare taxes for attendees and help connect them with one-on-one financial counseling, healthcare enrollment, and other public benefits.

United Way of King County operates 21 full-service sites and 4 drop-off tax prep sites. At these sites, drop off your documentation and come back in a week to pick up or file your completed return.

The free tax service campaign started as a grassroots initiative in White Center thirteen years ago led by United Way of King County.

Over the years, the campaign has spread throughout the county in an effort to connect low-income workers to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). According to UWKC, the EITC is considered as one of the most successful federal anti-poverty measure in the last four decades.

No appointments are needed to take advantage of this service. Sites include Shoreline HopeLink and the Lake City Service Center on 125th.
