The NYC Free Tax Prep Program is a free income tax service for New York City residents who have an income of $97,000 or less with dependents. This service is designed for low- to moderate-income individuals, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and limited English speakers.

BronxWorks tax preparers are IRS-certified and trained.  BronxWorks has operated free tax prep sites since 2007 and assists an average of 5,000 clients in preparing their tax returns each year. This program operates from January to April each year.

No income is needed to qualify for the NYC Free Tax Prep program. However, individuals/families will need the following:

  • An annual income of $68,000 and below if filing single
  • An income less than $97,000 if filing with a spouse and/or claiming someone other than themselves

Clients are also able to apply for the Earned Income Tax Credit and Advanced Child Tax Credit with our tax preparers.

Tax Preparation Document Checklist

  • Photo ID for you and your Spouse.
  • Social Security cards or ITIN for EVERYONE!!!
  • Child-care agency’s ID, or the name and Social Security number of the child-care provider.
  • Sample voided check or bank account and routing numbers for direct deposit.
    • Starting this year, the IRS will only issue tax refunds through direct deposit. If you need assistance setting up a bank account or other direct deposit method, we can help!
  • W-2s for all jobs you’ve held in the prior year and all 1099 forms (if paid in cash or checks).
  • 1095-A – Health insurance through marketplace.
