UNITED WAY
2020 “MY FREE TAXES” SERVICE
United Way Manitowoc County has launched this tax season’s MyFreeTaxes service. We’re once again providing free online tax filing software to help taxpayers easily and accurately file both their federal and state tax returns from their computer, smartphone or tablet. Filers can save hundreds of dollars in filing fees and get the refund they deserve.
MyFreeTaxes is free for all returns and includes schedule C options. There is no income limit for MyFreeTaxes this year.
A list of the tax forms included in this free offering is available by clicking on: MyFreeTaxes.com
Some folks did not receive their second stimulus payment, and to receive that payment, must file taxes this season even if they do not typically need to. Those filers can use MyFreeTaxes to receive that payment. A question regarding receipt of stimulus payments is one of the very first questions the program asks.
NEED HELP? CALL 866-698-9435 OPEN 10 AM-10 PM EST

The first part will take place on Monday, February 1 from 1-3pm. The topic will include how local homelessness issues relate to the big picture of homelessness across the state and nation, how to develop a more comprehensive system to address homelessness in our area and how to build our coalition to include local government, school systems, affordable housing developers, public housing authorities, law enforcement, and others for a more complete plan.
