CANCELLED temporarily: Free tax help from United Way of King County

March 6, 2020: United Way is temporarily closing its free tax prep sites and will reassess on a weekly basis.

We would like to encourage taxpayers who still need help with their taxes to visit www.myfreetaxes.com, where eligible households can complete simple returns free of charge. The online tool is offered in partnership between United Way and H/R Block.
